Alstom in Spain held successful Suppliers Day at Santa Perpètua site

On 14 June, Alstom in Spain held a Working and Recognition Day in Santa Perpètua with the Group's main suppliers in Spain. A total of around 80 suppliers, who provide equipment and services to the different sites, gathered at the industrial centre for Suppliers Day 2022. In addition to 54 main Spanish suppliers, the event was attended by suppliers from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Sweden.

This meeting was an opportunity to share current challenges in the industry with the main suppliers. The factory's expansion plans were presented during the event, as well as the projects and tenders underway. The high-capacity project for Renfe was another key topic addressed.

“The transition towards more sustainable mobility is undoubtedly an opportunity to boost industry, generate employment and stimulate economic activity. In this context, large companies, such as Alstom in Spain, are key because of their ability to promote development and internationalisation of local SMEs, to train young people, to create stable jobs and to increase local innovation capacity,” said Ricardo Cifré, Purchasing Director of Alstom Spain and Portugal.

More than 600 million purchases in Spain


Last year, the Alstom Group spent more than 600 million euro on Spanish suppliers, confirming its commitment to economic development and boosting the local industrial footprint. In total, the Group has more than 1,000 suppliers in Spain, from consultancies and engineering companies to design studios, equipment manufacturers, professional service providers and electronic systems suppliers, among others.

“Some of our local suppliers in Santa Perpetua factory have also become global suppliers for Alstom worldwide, supplying the Group's factories all over the world. We promote local industry, we help it grow, internationalise and innovate,” adds Ricardo Cifré.
