Ausolan is a 100% nationally owned business group and a leader in catering and integrated cleaning services for communities. With over 55 years of experience, it brings together different local projects while maintaining close relationships with clients and respecting the traditions of each region.

Founded in 1969 by a group of 17 women, with the support of Father José María Arizmendiarrieta, Ausolan began as a worker cooperative. These forward-thinking women challenged the conventions of their time, fighting for their right to work as a path towards personal development and financial independence.
