Company History

Through decades of growth and industrial diversification, it opened plants internationally and today serves many of the world's leading vehicle manufacturers.
For International Professionals
- Positions are based in the Basque Country, a region known for its strong industrial tradition, international culture, and comparatively high English and French proficiency.
- The company runs dual vocational training and engineering internship programs, ideal for recent graduates from abroad.
- Hierarchy in Spanish industrial companies can be somewhat formal, but Cikautxo emphasizes internal promotion and continuous training.
- Working in the Basque Country often coexists with a moderate to high proficiency in Spanish, and English might be less common outside larger cities, so communication in Spanish is often essential.
