Since the fire, the company has stated that "significant progress" has been made in the recovery of activity, adding: "There are many efforts and sacrifices that we still have to make to ensure the company's activity and employment, the main objectives."
The Lascaray-LEA family company in Álava is the oldest company in the Basque Country since it turned 200 in October 2023 and has been in the factory since 1973.
