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.
