Today at Grupo Lince we have hosted a very special day organized by Vitartis in our Envite building in Valladolid.
It has been a pleasure to open the doors of our Social Additive Manufacturing Center, a space where technological innovation and social inclusion go hand in hand.
During the visit, we shared with Vitartis partners some of the solutions we develop from our laboratories: 3D printing, industrial scanning and prototype modeling for sectors such as packaging, industry or vocational training.
Thanks to our colleagues Javier Porras Murillo and Sara Morales Manso, 3D design and modeling technicians, we were able to show how this technology allows us to create unique parts, replace discontinued components or manufacture customized tooling in an agile, efficient and sustainable way. The tour also included the printing and post-processing rooms.
Grupo Lince is the largest special employment center in Castilla y León with a current staff of more than 750 people (90% with disabilities).
We thank Vitartis for their trust and all the attendees for their interest in learning about how we apply technology to the service of inclusion, employability and sustainability.
And thanks also to Ricardo Cuesta Caminero, manager of Grupo Lince for joining us on this day and for his involvement from the beginning.
