Projects have been awarded with the aim of facilitating the reduction of stocks, cylinder spare parts and materials, and others are aimed at how to improve the operation of specific areas or to enhance the development of scrap metal businesses in Spain.

Rubiralta has pointed out that, “we want to be leaders in reaching solutions for our external and internal clients.”
