Foundation of the company

1949

In 1949 Marcos Larrañaga Chinchurreta founded the company "Manufacturas Metálicas Marcos Larrañaga" in small premises in the centre of Bergara.

First household items

1949-1960

We began manufacturing aluminium household items and orthodontic material for companies in the Alto Deba region of Gipuzkoa.

Expansion of facilities

1960-1970

We moved and expanded our facilities to be able to manufacture aluminium kitchenware for the hotel and catering sector and, subsequently, we began to manufacture the first stainless steel pieces for the home. We also decided to create the brand name "Lacor" in honour of the married couple formed by the founder Marcos Larrañaga and his wife Casimira Cortabarría.

Stainless steel parts including diffuser bottom

1970-1980

We improved the stainless steel parts by including the diffuser bottom, as well as extending the range for the professional sector. We start exporting our products to the neighbouring countries France and Portugal.

Leading national manufacturer of kitchenware

1980-2000

We became the first national manufacturer of large stainless steel tableware with a diffuser bottom and a single piece. As a result, we had to relocate and expand our current facilities in Bergara, as well as automate production.


We continued working to expand our professional catalogue and managed to expand our sales to the 5 continents.

We created the company ‘Logística del Menaje’

2000-2024

We created the company "Logística del Menaje" in Alegría-Dulantzi (10,000 m2) with its subsequent expansion to 30,000 m2 to store and manage the hundreds of daily orders from our customers.


We also invested in automation and robotisation in production to optimise resources and improve the finishing of the pieces.

Leading professional kitchenware brand

2024...

We have consolidated our position as a leading brand of professional kitchenware for the hotel and catering industry.

Our products are characterised by design, quality and durability, attributes that win over top chefs from all over the world on a daily basis.

We try to contribute to a healthy and sustainable society. We promote learning and the development of healthy lifestyle habits by incorporating safe and toxic-free materials into our catalogue.

Our commitment to sustainability

Our responsibility goes beyond offering high quality kitchenware: we seek to take care of people and the planet. That’s why our products are made from toxic-free materials, making them safe for your health and for the environment. 

At the same time, we have taken a firm step towards reducing the use of plastic in our packaging, helping to minimise waste and protect our environment. 

We are also committed to energy efficiency with our own solar panel installation, which allows us to move towards energy self-sufficiency and reduce our carbon footprint.

Every action counts and every product we create reflects our commitment: quality, responsible kitchenware designed for a more sustainable world.
