INDUSTRIAL TRADITION
Some of our members have more than 100 years experience mostly in textile industry. In spite of this, during the last 30 years the industrial web of the area has suffered a big transformation.

From 1975 to 1986 there was an important restructuring process and industrial reconversion. Since then, there has been a great diversification of the industries. Consequenly, new industries such as metalworks, chemicals, building materials and so on appeared.

In 1986 there is the UE adhesion, which can be considered as the starting-point of the internationalization process of most companies in the area.

Nowadays, our economy is mostly based on services and building sectors. On the other hand, the industrial sector has had to find other ways in order to keep competitive in a more and more competitive environment. For this reason, we keep having more specialized companies.
