Canagrosa celebrates the end of 2025 at its Christmas gathering

A gathering that brought together nearly 90 professionals in a warm and participatory atmosphere centred around the brand

Last week we celebrated our 2025 Christmas Lunch, a very special gathering that took place in the unique setting of Bodegas Halcón in Lebrija. It was a much-anticipated event, one of those occasions that allow us to pause from our daily routine and share experiences with the whole team in an environment where time seems to stand still.

The day stood out for the atmosphere created by the whole team and an environment that reflected the strong sense of belonging we share at Canagrosa, highlighting the cohesion, rapport and closeness between everyone.

2025, a year marked by consolidation and technological advancement

During the gathering, Fernando Alarcón de la Lastra, CEO of Canagrosa, summarised the 2025 Activity Report, reviewing the most significant milestones of the year and the evolution of the different areas of activity.

In Testing and MRO, the nearly 40,000 samples managed stand out, representing sustained growth of 13%. Added to this is the expansion of capabilities with new tests, advanced inspection and high-impact technical campaigns of great international relevance, which consolidate our position as a leading laboratory in Europe.

Activity in Metrology has also grown significantly, both in internal calibration and metrological management. New customers, expanded accreditations and greater operational capacity have strengthened a key area for the development of high-precision solutions.

At the same time, the R&D area has continued to make progress on key projects geared towards the future of the industry. Among the most notable lines of work are the development of initiatives related to sustainable aviation fuels, new coatings, additive manufacturing and smart metrology.

The year has also been marked by decisive progress in business development and internationalisation. We have expanded our presence in new markets, added more than 85 clients and prepared for the launch of Canagrosa Lab Maroc, which will begin operations in 2026 to offer MRO services, chemical process control, efficacy control and metrology to current and potential clients in Morocco and the Middle East.

Looking ahead to 2026, a year of expansion and specialisation

After the presentation, we enjoyed a wine tasting with food pairing organised by Bodegas Halcón, a specially curated experience that helped to create an exclusive atmosphere for the cocktail lunch, allowing us to continue sharing conversation, impressions and views on the future in a relaxed manner.

The meeting also served to advance the strategic lines that will mark the coming year: international consolidation, capacity expansion and the promotion of initiatives linked to sustainability, digitalisation and technical specialisation.

2026 will undoubtedly be a year of challenges and opportunities, in which we will continue to strengthen our role as a key technology partner for the aeronautical and defence industry.
