The XVIII International Meeting Point of Asturex hosted the presentation of a pioneer proposal promoted by Metaindustry4, for the development of integral solutions in the Oil&Gas and Renewable Energy Value Chains through business cooperation.

In a working meeting with 28 international agents who represent 52 countries, the companies associated to the Cluster of Advanced Manufacturing of the Metal Industry were presented for the very first time in Asturias with a single voice to show to the world the capabilities of the sector to develop integral solutions in business areas of Renewable Energy Generation and Petrochemical Industry.

Last November, following the results of the study “Positioning of the Metal Industry in Global Value Chains”, MetaIndustry4 and Asturex constituted two working groups focused on business development in the field of Renewables and Oil&Gas topics. These groups brought together more than twenty partner companies of MetaIndustry4 which have recognized presence and specialization in these value chains such as: Asturfeito, Dinamet Ingeniería, Fundyser, Grupo Daorje, Grupo HMF, Grupo Navec, Grupo SEM, Hiasa Gonvarri, Indasa, Imetal, Isastur, Iturcemi, Mecsa, Mefasa, Metálicas Somonte, Oxiplant, TSK, Tuinsa Norte and Windar Renovables. The main objective of this team was strengthening knowledge among companies, identify their complementarities and, finally, be able to develop more competitive collaborative business opportunities.
