Koniker S.COOP.
is a not-for-profit technology centre, specialising in forming and assembly
technologies. Koniker has been accredited as a Scientific-Technological
Agent by the Basque Government and forms part of the Basque Network

It was set up in June 2002 by Fagor Arrasate, Batz, Mondragon Assembly,

way and take advantage of the existing synergies in the forming, assembly,
machinery and tooling areas. In 2004 Mondragon Corporation
