Granados also stressed that the Regional Government of Andalusia “recognises the company’s track record as a driver of development and employment in the province”.
For his part, the regional delegate, Gumersindo Fernández, highlighted “the company’s commitment to quality, sustainability and innovation, which has enabled its products to be present in sectors as diverse as glass, ceramics, metallurgy, agriculture, cosmetics and construction”.
