Last July, the Televes Corporation had an unforgettable day with the first edition of Family Days, an event designed to celebrate our families and employees with a very special visit to our facilities.

A total of 80 participants, including family members and employees, had the opportunity to take a comprehensive tour of our facilities, designed to show our capabilities and processes in detail. We would like to express our most sincere thanks to the magnificent guides who led the group tours: Rut Fernández, Alberto López, Juan Virel, Rubén González and José María Soneira. Their dedication and knowledge made this day an enriching experience for everyone.

The event began with a warm welcome from our CEO, Santiago Rey, who highlighted our companies most important asset: people. Afterwards, we divided into smaller groups to begin the tour of the various production areas.

Areas Visited

GCE: a company that is part of the corporation that specializes in the production of PCBs. Here, visitors were able to see up close and in detail how we design and manufacture our PCBs layer by layer, as well as the associated quality and verification processes.

ZAMAK area: a compound of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper that makes up the metal parts of our products, such as antenna masts and directors, as well as the chassis of field meters, central amplifiers, shunts and sockets.

Plastic parts factory: We explained in detail the entire manufacturing process for our plastic parts, which we receive as small pellets that we melt and shape into pieces of different sizes in orange, white or black, depending on the product and use.

Robotized antenna assembly line: This line, the only one of its kind in the world, amazed everyone with its advanced technology and efficiency in antenna production. Capable of producing up to 7,000 antennas per day.

Showroom: In our showroom, we replicated a number of different environments to showcase our innovative solutions:

• A reception area and a hotel room, highlighting our hospitality solutions.
• A complete apartment equipped with our CareLife health and social care solution.
• A complete aisle in large-scale retail outlet, where we ensured consistency of order in the products displayed in the store.
• The staging of a pontoon for our supply tower in ports and marinas.
• A smart room in a hospital and a social-health room in a nursing home.

Flexible manufacturing line (FMS) and assembly area for SMD and MMIC components: Visitors also explored our advanced flexible manufacturing and assembly lines for SMD (Surface-Mount Device) and MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) components, demonstrating our ability to adapt to different production needs.

Conclusion of the Event

To round off this great day, we all shared drinks and snacks, exchanging impressions and enjoying a celebratory moment of relaxation.

The feedback we have received has been very positive, so given the positive impact and level of demand, we are already organizing the next Family Days at Televes Corporation.

What is your job at Televes?

Mainly receiving and processing orders from international customers, managing all the information and documentation related to logistics and shipping. We coordinate sales with administration, finance, planning and the Logistics Center, including customs clearance, insurance and payment for the transportation of the goods.

How long have you been with the company? How would you describe your career so far?

I joined the international division in March 1995, at the height of the export boom of our products to the European market. Speaking four languages fluently and having been trained as a Technical Specialist in International Trade opened the door to Televes. And here I am still, with the same enthusiasm as back then, giving our customers around the world the best possible support, because I believe that this and the extra enthusiasm and positive energy that I try to pass on to the customer adds value to our company.

What is the most satisfying part of your job? What about the most difficult part?

Listening to their needs, overcoming obstacles and offering positive solutions, all of which earns the trust of our customers. There is no greater high than receiving emails thanking me for the support provided. It pushes me to grow in my work. If I can also build customer loyalty and make the customer feel identified with us, that is the greatest achievement.

In recent years, the international division has been particularly affected by the constant increases in the price of raw materials such as copper and aluminum. Although we always try to keep the impact on the customer as low as possible, it is a challenge to stay competitive on price.

What do you feel the key values are in the company?

Our customers value the Televes brand for the quality and technological functionality of its products, but I believe that the technical support we offer to professionals in our sector adds an unbeatable plus to brand value - commitment, enthusiasm and service.
