The company Componentes y Servicios Rospa, dedicated to the manufacture of elements and structures for renewable energy, will be installed in a 2,120 m2 warehouse in the tax area of the Free Trade Zone of Cádiz, in the area formerly occupied by the Altadis tobacco company and to which A commercial push is being given to place it at the same level as the rest of the venue, whose occupancy is around 100%.
Rospa, which develops highly innovative projects and is an expert in technology-based engineering, wants to use the new plant for the manufacture of an element called Solar Box, a product for the optimization of the generation and treatment of photovoltaic energy. This new incorporation not only contributes to the recovery of productive spaces in the Fiscal Area but also continues the line of attracting innovation and new technology companies from the Free Zone within its model of generating a sustainable and responsible industry and economy.
