Good to know if you are moving

  • The company is headquartered in Gurb, a small town in Catalonia, so relocation would likely involve living in or near Vic or Barcelona.
  • Catalan is widely spoken in the workplace, so knowledge of Spanish and possibly Catalan is important for integration.
  • The company offers roles in production, maintenance, and logistics, which may be suitable for technical professionals with industrial experience.
  • As a family-owned company, it emphasizes tradition and quality, and it is a major employer in the region.
  • The company has a strong brand in Spain, but it is not well known internationally, so it may be a good fit for those seeking a local, stable employer.
