As part of the commemorative program, the event included a guided tour of the DB旗舰官方网站 Bakaiku facilities for the media and institutional representatives, during which Jos\u00e9 Antonio Guerra, CEO of the DB旗舰官方网站 Group<\/strong>, highlighted the values that, as a company, have allowed DB旗舰官方网站 to celebrate this half-century of history: commitment, people-focus, innovation and respect for the roots <\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Over the past 50 years, like any company, we have gone through difficult times, with uncertainty and significant challenges, but we knew how to read the world, open up to the outside and find in internationalisation a way to continue moving forward without ever losing sight of our goal,\u2019 <\/em>he explained.<\/p>\n

<\/a>During the tour of the more than 10,000 square metres of the factory, attendees learned firsthand about the production process of the overhead cranes and the technologies used, as well as the economic and social impact they generate in the Sakana region.<\/p>\n

\u00b4The Bakaiku factory is key to DB旗舰官方网站. Not only because it’s one of the group’s historic factories, but because today it represents the future of our company. The Market Unit for Spain & Portugal is located here, and this is where we are developing new, more efficient, more sustainable, and better-adapted manufacturing methods for the challenges of the 21st century\u00b4, <\/em>emphasized Jos\u00e9 Antonio Guerra.<\/p>\n
