Ence Reinforces its Commitment to Innovation During the Annual Technical Shutdown of its Pontevedra Biofactory

Ence's biofactory in Pontevedra has begun its annual maintenance shutdown, which will last until September 25. During this period, approximately 1,400 professionals will join the regular workforce to carry out maintenance and upgrades to the facilities.

Ence will place innovation at the heart of its annual maintenance shutdown, allocating more than €13 million to the project. The company will focus on advancing automation and implementing advanced control systems based on artificial intelligence, which will help optimize operations, expedite real-time decision-making, and maximize the reliability of its facilities.

All of this will serve to reinforce the plant's operational efficiency, raise industrial safety standards and improve the environmental performance of its processes, reaffirming Ence's commitment to innovation and excellence in the sector.

Commitment to the local economy

This initiative also reinforces Ence's commitment to the socioeconomic development of Pontevedra and its surrounding area by creating jobs and new opportunities for local businesses. The arrival of these professionals will also boost activity in the hospitality and accommodation sectors.

This impact is further enhanced by the participation of a significant number of Galician auxiliary companies, which helps to extend the benefits of the project throughout the region. Ence also views this maintenance shutdown as a structural element of its management model, based on continuous improvement, innovation, environmental excellence, and a strong connection to the local area.
