Description

Alstom Transport will hire 100 new workers at the end of the year at its manufacturing plant at Santa Perpetua de Mogoda (Barcelona). This reflects a predicted improvement of the economic situation. Since September 2014, the plant has been implementing a temporary labour force adjustment plan which has not been stopped. During the first quarter of 2016, the company will start to work at 100% of its capacity. This expansion is due to seven international projects that are being carried out.
