The total worth of this investment is 22.3 million Euros. This job creation results from the closure of two factories (Aveiro and Trofa) whose activities were relocated to this new unit. The business expansion will reinforce the position of Tensai as leader in this sector in the Iberic Peninsula and as a main exporter to contries such as: Spain, France, Italy, Caribbean, Africa and Arab countries.
