The President of the Basque Country, Iñigo Urkullu, jointly with Minister for Economic Development and Competitiveness, Arantxa Tapia; Minister for Education, Language Policy and Culture, Cristina Uriarte, and other members of the Basque Government recently visited TUBACEXâs OCTG plant in Amurrio (Spain). The visit was hosted by í?lvaro Videgain and Jesús Esmorís, Chairman and CEO of TUBACEX, respectively. Other members of the TUBACEX team demonstrated the manufacturing process of one of the companyâs highest value-added products. The increase in the share of this type of products has enabled TUBACEX to face a market situation characterized by the reduction in capital expenditure in the oil market, while maintaining a sustainable pace of activity.
âDuring the past three years, we have invested over 50 million Euros to improve competitiveness at our plants. This affects our production model and our people, with flexible professionals and advanced trainingâ?, said Jesús Esmorís. âWe have achieved a continuous manufacturing process at this plant thanks to our commitment to professionals in the area of preventative maintenance and equipment with an excellent process controlâ?, added Esmorís.
During the visit, the President of the Basque Country and other members of the Government have learned about the evolution of TUBACEX’s dual training, a pilot training program specialized in electromechanical maintenance that includes one year of international experience in other TUBACEX Group plants in USA, Italy, Austria or India.
