What is the pace of work at a company like Amiblu?

The pace of work at Amiblu is dynamic and demanding, driven by the need to excel and meet our quality standards. Coordination between teams and efficiency in processes are crucial to ensure that our products and services meet the expectations of our clients and the market.

Describe a working day at Amiblu.

A typical working day at Amiblu involves meetings to review project progress and client relationship management. It also includes strategic planning, market development, and resolving any challenges that may arise.

What do you value most about your job?

The dynamics together with the learning and development opportunities that exist on a daily basis. It is impossible to get bored, as we are constantly learning and facing new challenges.

What is the funniest moment you remember with your department colleagues?

During a work week, there are moments of fun and jokes between us. I think it is very important to have such moments of humor in a professional environment. They help strengthen relationships and develop our daily responsibilities in a healthier way. Having like-minded colleagues with whom to share these moments is truly a privilege.

Tell us about a GRP pipe project that you remember for its uniqueness.

Over the years, our company has carried out several unique projects. Tackling challenging projects is basically in our DNA. One of our latest ones, the GNA II thermal power plant in Brazil – the largest in Latin America – has been very unique due to the number of challenges the entire Amiblu team had to face. From the negotiation with the client, the demanding manufacturing deadlines and delivery to the construction site, to the installation carried out by our production team on site, the compliance with the high quality standards and the technical development of our engineering team. Undoubtedly a project that the entire team at Amiblu Pipes Spain is very proud of.
