In December it is time to take stock of the year and from Total Planning we want to take the opportunity to value the work and the objectives achieved in 2016. A year that has witnessed the growth of the company, both nationally and internationally. We have reinforced our presence in Europe. We continue to grow with our commercial agent in Germany and France and thanks to the international promotion program ICEX NEXT, we want to continue growing in Portugal and Holland.
And as a sample of this international work, the different actions in which the company has been immersed in this 2016. The HANNOVER MESSE fair took place last April, where we were present for the first time. A very positive event where we are planning to return in 2017. In the same way, last October, Total Planning was present at the business meetings in the Lake Constance region (Germany). The objective of these meetings was to promote the internationalization of industrial subcontractors companies, through meetings with the purchasing managers of important companies in the area interested in new suppliers.
In addition, as in 2016, we attended the International Meeting of Buyers in Madrid, an event that served as a meeting point for companies and purchasing managers to promote this outward projection.
On the other hand, internally we started the year with the purchase of a new Bridgeport 3 axis machine, which has helped us continue to give a very good quality to all our customers and jobs.
In short, 2016 has been a year of consolidation. As in the previous year, we have expanded the staffing and machinery park, in order to satisfy the demands of our customers who, year after year, trust us. Customers who in many cases, have been betting for us for decades.
This would not be possible without the effort of each and every one of us who are part of Total Planning.
Thank you all!
