Fagor Industrial, Spanish Onnera Group, Mondragón Cooperative heritage
Fagor Industrial is the commercial foodservice equipment division of Spain's Onnera Group, which carries the cooperative heritage of the Mondragón Corporation, Spain's largest industrial cooperative federation. The commercial dishwasher line spans undercounter, door, hood, pass-through, rack-conveyor, and flight-type configurations, plus specialty utensil washers and heat-recovery ventless models. Fagor Industrial continues to operate as a going concern under Onnera Group with active R&D and growing US distribution.
The critical distinction for LA buyers: Fagor Industrial is NOT Fagor Electrodomésticos. Fagor Electrodomésticos was the residential white-goods brand that went bankrupt in 2013 and was subsequently acquired by Brandt. They are separate companies with separate ownership histories. A lot of search results and general web content conflates the two, you'll see "Fagor bankrupt" or "Fagor out of business" references that stem from the 2013 residential story but don't apply to the commercial dishwasher business. Your Fagor commercial dishwasher is serviceable, parts flow, new models ship.
US distribution runs through Hart+Price (hartprice.com), the primary Fagor Industrial US distributor, plus Fagor Commercial USA for direct warranty support and bi-lingual English/Spanish service coordination. The bi-lingual support is meaningful in LA, where a significant share of the commercial foodservice industry is Spanish-language-first in the back-of-house.

Fagor Industrial vs Fagor Electrodomésticos, the 2013 disambiguation
This deserves its own section because it's a persistent source of confusion in the LA market. In 2013, Fagor Electrodomésticos, the Basque residential white-goods cooperative (refrigerators, washing machines, residential dishwashers, residential ovens), went bankrupt as part of the broader 2008-2013 Spanish economic crisis impact. Groupe Brandt acquired portions of the residential operations afterwards.
Fagor Industrial, the commercial foodservice equipment division, was a separate business under a separate corporate structure within the broader Mondragón Corporation cooperative network. Fagor Industrial did NOT go bankrupt. It continued operating, subsequently reorganized into the Onnera Group umbrella, and today remains an active Spanish commercial foodservice manufacturer with ongoing US distribution.
For LA operators looking at search results that reference "Fagor bankruptcy": unless the specific reference is to Electrodomésticos (residential appliances), it's confused or outdated content. Your commercial Fagor dishwasher is a product of a company that's still operating, still shipping parts, and still supported. We service Fagor commercial regularly in LA and have no parts-supply concerns for current-production lines.
LA Hispanic restaurant cluster, the core Fagor commercial market
A significant share of LA's Hispanic-community-owned restaurant operations run Fagor commercial dishwashers. The reason is partly cultural affinity with a Spanish-origin brand, partly practical pricing (Fagor sits between CMA value-tier and Meiko/Winterhalter premium), and partly the Spanish-language documentation and Fagor Commercial USA's bi-lingual service support. Boyle Heights taquerias, Lincoln Heights family restaurants, Huntington Park panaderías, East LA cafeteria kitchens, South Gate and Bell and Cudahy and Commerce operation clusters, Fagor is the dishwasher you see again and again.
Our Spanish-speaking tech availability matters operationally in this cluster. Service communication in English alone in a kitchen where the chef, dishwasher operator, and owner all speak Spanish first creates misunderstandings that slow the service call. Tell us when you call that a Spanish-speaking tech is needed and we'll dispatch accordingly. Fagor documentation in Spanish is also standard; we can pull parts diagrams, service manuals, and error-code references in Spanish for the operator's records.
Ghost kitchen cluster, LA's rapidly growing Fagor install base
LA's ghost kitchen density, Culver City (CloudKitchens original sites), DTLA Arts District (multiple multi-tenant ghost kitchen buildings), East Hollywood, Koreatown, and a growing San Fernando Valley cluster, runs Fagor equipment heavily. Ghost kitchen build-outs typically purchase equipment through ghost-kitchen-specific dealers, and those dealers often price Fagor as the value European option below the German premium brands.
Ghost kitchen service has specific operational requirements. Response-time expectations are tighter because the kitchen is shared-tenant infrastructure, a dishwasher failure affects multiple food-service operators simultaneously, not just one restaurant. PM scheduling has to coordinate with multi-tenant calendars. We run ghost kitchen Fagor service calls with that operational reality in mind; we dispatch fast and communicate service status clearly to kitchen management so affected operators can plan around the downtime window.
Gas hot-water generator and LA natural-gas economics
Higher-tier Fagor E-VO and EVO Concept+ HRS configurations offer an integrated natural-gas hot-water generator, a ventless on-demand combustion module that produces 180°F final-rinse water directly from natural gas, instead of relying on the building hot-water supply or an electric booster element. Fagor claims up to 60% energy savings versus comparable electric-booster architectures. The actual LA savings depend on your specific electric-versus-natural-gas utility rate structure.
At LA's current commercial natural-gas rates from SoCalGas and the commercial electric rates from LADWP and Southern California Edison, the gas hot-water generator is usually economically viable at medium-to-high wash volumes, typically above 200 racks per day. At lower volumes, the payback period extends beyond typical equipment lifecycle and the electric-booster configuration is a better fit. If you're considering retrofit from electric-booster to gas-hot-water-generator, we can run the math on your specific utility-rate structure during a service call. This is the kind of technical+financial advisory that most general-appliance service companies don't offer; we do because it often saves operators meaningful money over the equipment lifecycle.

Fagor dishwasher repair, frequently asked
Is Fagor still in business?
The commercial side is, and it's important not to confuse the two Fagor businesses. Fagor Industrial (also called Fagor Professional or Fagor Commercial), the commercial foodservice equipment division, is alive and well as part of the Spanish Onnera Group, which carries the cooperative heritage of Mondragón Corporation. That's the Fagor on your commercial dishwasher. The separate Fagor Electrodomésticos, the residential white-goods business, went bankrupt in 2013 and was acquired by Brandt; those are different companies. If you search 'Fagor bankruptcy,' you'll find the 2013 residential story, which confuses a lot of buyers. Your commercial Fagor is fine. Parts supply is active, new models ship, and we service the full US distribution.
What's the difference between Fagor E-VO and Concept+?
Both are current-generation Fagor commercial dishwasher lines, positioned at different tiers. E-VO (E-VO Generation) is the flagship across the full size range, undercounter, door, hood, and rack-conveyor configurations all use shared E-VO engineering. Concept and Concept Plus are the mid-range with EFFI-WASH and EFFI-RINSE optimization for water and chemistry efficiency; Concept Plus adds upgraded controls and feature set over the standard Concept. For an LA operator choosing between them: E-VO for operations wanting Fagor's best engineering, Concept Plus for mid-range operations wanting EFFI-WASH/EFFI-RINSE efficiency. Both share the same parts channel through Hart+Price US distribution.
Do you have Spanish-speaking technicians?
Yes. Our Hispanic LA restaurant cluster is a core service segment, Boyle Heights, East Los Angeles, Huntington Park, Pacoima, Lincoln Heights, City Terrace, South Gate, Bell, Cudahy, Commerce, parts of South LA. Many of these operations run Fagor equipment and many are Spanish-language-first in the back-of-house. We have Spanish-speaking technicians in the dispatch rotation and Fagor service documentation is available in Spanish. If you need a Spanish-speaking tech for a service call, tell us when you call and we'll dispatch accordingly. Español es un idioma que hablamos en el trabajo, no es solo marketing.
Do you service Fagor in LA ghost kitchens?
Yes. LA's ghost kitchen cluster, Culver City (CloudKitchens original locations), DTLA Arts District, East Hollywood, Koreatown, parts of the San Fernando Valley, runs Fagor equipment heavily, more than most LA operators realize. Ghost kitchen build-outs typically use equipment packages from ghost-kitchen-specific dealers, and those dealers often price Fagor as the value-tier European option below the German premium brands. E-VO undercounters and Concept Plus doors are the most common ghost-kitchen Fagor installs we service. Response-time expectations are tighter in ghost kitchens because the kitchens are shared-tenant, one dishwasher down affects multiple operators.
What's Fagor's gas hot water generator and is it worth the natural gas rates in LA?
Fagor's gas hot water generator is a ventless on-demand natural gas water heater integrated into higher-tier E-VO and EVO Concept+ HRS (heat recovery) dishwasher configurations. Instead of relying on the building's hot water supply, the unit generates 180°F rinse water directly from natural gas combustion at the point of use. Energy savings claimed up to 60% versus electric-booster alternatives, though the actual LA savings depend on your electric versus natural-gas rate structure. At LA's current commercial natural gas rates from SoCalGas and the higher LADWP commercial electric rates, the gas-hot-water generator is usually economically viable at medium-to-high wash volumes. At lower volumes, the payback period extends beyond the typical equipment lifecycle. We can run the math on your specific rate structure during a service call if you're considering retrofit or replacement.
Where do Fagor parts come from?
Fagor Industrial's US distribution runs through Hart+Price (hartprice.com), plus Fagor Commercial USA direct for warranty and bi-lingual service support. Common parts, door gaskets, fill valves, dosing-pump components, rinse-arm bearings, basic control components, we stock on the trucks or pull from regional US inventory in 2–5 days. Specialty parts, EFFI-WASH manifold components, HRS heat-recovery modules, E-VO controller boards, gas hot-water generator modules, typically ship from Spain via the US distributor with 7–14 day lead time. We give honest lead-time expectations on the diagnostic call; operators hear a lot of vague promises from general-appliance companies and we'd rather give you an accurate window.
