Mecalux has increased its team of professionals at its R+D centre in Gijon which now has over seventy programmers. The company hopes to increase its workforce to one hundred employees in the coming year. In addition to the twenty-three million euros already invested since the centre’s inception in 2006, to expand and modernise the plant and create a supply centre to cope with demand from all the European branches, the Asturian plant requires an annual investment of two million euros.
