Generosa Cerviño, HR director of the Indaux Group, has participated in two seminars organised by Lizeo Oteitza and the Equality Department of the Council of Zarautz to promote the integration of women in the industrial sector. The first of these was aimed at students of between 16 and 17 at the secondary school, and the second to the population in general.
Both activities were part Indaux’s commitment to promote responsibility in its environment. The seminars intended to make young women of the region aware of a real job placement path, that passes through the study of a Higher Degree Education Course in Industrial Specialities, such as Mechanical Manufacturing Design, Industrial Mecatronics, Industrial Robotics and Mechanical Manufacture. “On this occasion, we have focused on encouraging women not to have a fear of taking technical studies, but we are aware that for our objective to be successful there has to be a general cultural change. And we will continue working towards that”, explained Generosa Cerviño.
Together with Generosa Cerviño were Ana Belén Juaristi, manager at Engranajes Juaristi; Eugenia Iraola, Human Resources Manager at GKN Driveline Zumaia and several ex-students of Oteitza Lizeo Politeknikoa, who told of their experiences first hand.
Indaux’s sales department has been reinforced with the recruitment of Iñigo Sagarna, who will be responsible for strengthening the Asia-Pacific markets after the promotion of Asier Lizaso to Sales Director. An Industrial Technical engineer from the University of the Basque Country with a Masters Degree in International Commerce from Deusto, Sagarna comes from the Gas & Oil sector where he was Sales Director at Comdiflex for seven years. Prior to this, he had extensive experience in other sectors, such as the paper industry.
Three representatives of the French wardrobe manufacturer Lagrange visited the Indaux factories in Aia and Getaria. These were Serge Cucca, Quality Manager, Julien Masmonteil from the Technical Office and José Duarte, Aftermarket Manager. During their stay, the members of the Lagrange team got first-hand information about the different manufacturing lines and production processes, as well as the testing laboratory and the quality controls that are implemented.
