Work to adapt the industrial facilities, which will be leased, will now start and continue until the end of the year with the laser cells installed progressively.

At present Gestamp has five plants in Euskadi (Gestamp Bizkaia, Matricerías Deusto, Adral, Gestamp Tool Hardening and Loire Safe). Gestamp currently has more than 1,600 employees in the Basque Country.
