ADITU MATCH is here: Free Business Meetings for SMEs in Gipuzkoa to learn from the concrete experience of leading companies in the region that have embraced design in their innovation strategy. In 2025, three meetings will take place at Agustinak Zentroa: WALTER PACK (March 20), ABB NIESSEN (April 3), and SALTO (May 8).

On March 20, EIDE will celebrate its first ADITU MATCH, featuring WALTER PACK, a Basque multinational specialized in designing and manufacturing decorative and functional solutions for the automotive and home electronics sectors.

  • Sonia López, Color&Trim Manager, and Marta Gómez, Creative and Graphic Designer, will share the motivation and process followed by WALTER PACK in the creation of its own Color&Trim department. This department specializes in trend analysis, fostering creativity, and pursuing excellence to achieve unique and exclusive colors and finishes. This is a great opportunity to learn firsthand how this company, trusted by brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Audi, Ferrari, Jaguar, and Volkswagen, among others, operates.

On April 3, EIDE will host the second ADITU MATCH, featuring NIESSEN, a brand of the ABB group with over 110 years of history, and a leader in the design of innovative, functional, and sustainable electrical interior solutions.

  • Nerea Vesga, Design and R&D Manager at NIESSEN, will explain the design, development, manufacturing, and launch process of the brand’s new ALBA switch collection, which has won several prestigious awards, including the Gold iF DESIGN AWARD 2024, the «Best of the Best» RED DOT WINNER 2024, and the Delta Bronze 2024.

On May 8, EIDE will host the third and final ADITU MATCH, featuring SALTO, one of the three main brands of the SaltoWecosystem, which leads the digital transformation of access and identity management through innovative technologies and solutions.

  • Ander Igarza, Peripherals & Industrial Design Lead at SALTO, and Ion Murga, Global Marketing Lead at SALTO, will explain the SALTO WECOSYSTEM concept, the SALTO rebranding process, the new brand architecture, corporate identity, and how the VBL design language project for hardware products emerged from this reflection.

The meetings will take place at 9:30 AM at Agustinak Zentroa (Agustinak Etorbidea 4, Errenteria), lasting an hour and a half, with a networking space for professionals to foster contact, mutual learning, and information exchange.
