Cualimetal and Podoactiva were awarded at the IV Aragonese Company Awards 2025, an event organized by AEFA and the Government of Aragon, in recognition of their contribution to the regional business fabric and anticipating new legislative measures for the sector. This event not only served to recognize the excellence of Cualimetal and Podoactiva, two cornerstones of the local industry, but also highlighted the strategic importance of family businesses in Aragon. These companies represent an impressive 92% of the regional business fabric, significantly contributing to both private employment and the regional Gross Added Value (VAB).
Announcement of new support policies
The event was also the setting for an important announcement by the president of the Government of Aragon, who detailed the imminent approval of a law aimed at strengthening the sector. The new legislation, focused on reducing fiscal and inheritance barriers, aims to promote the competitiveness and sustainability of these essential companies for the local economy.
The awardees: Innovation and local commitment
In the Small Business category, Cualimetal was recognized for its emphasis on internationalization and energy efficiency, while also being noted for its deep local roots. On the other hand, Podoactiva, in the Large Company category, received the award for its innovation in the field of podiatry and biomechanics, underscoring its commitment to sustainable development and social welfare.
This event not only acknowledges the business success of its awardees but also reinforces the crucial role of public policies in promoting a favorable environment for the constant growth and evolution of the family business sector in Aragon.
