Koldo Kortabitarte - MAIER

"What we have to do is to at least use our resources in Basque, especially the small things, because with many small things you can achieve big things."

MAIER Cooperative, located in Ajangiz, will soon be 50 years old. It manufactures decorated plastic parts for the automotive industry, using different technologies.

Koldo Kortabitarte, president of MAIER, is our guest in Indeus interviews. In addition to Euskadi and Navarra, MAIER is established in Galicia, several European countries and India, China and Mexico. And the fact is that, according to Koldo, "in our sector it is necessary to be in the early stages of the cars, in the design, in the creation and if we are there the possibilities of achieving things are doubled".

Asked about what can be done to promote Basque in the industrial field, Kortabitarte considers that the key lies in the use of the language: "There are products and digital environment, if we introduce the tools in our daily life we will easily promote Basque at the industrial level. What we have to do is at least use our resources in Basque, especially the small things, because with many small things you can achieve big things."
