The process
Hidro Rubber ended 2019 with a turnover of 16 million euros, as a result of the 200 million parts manufactured for the fuel tanks of Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW or Toyota, among many other brands. Around 2% of its turnover is dedicated to R&I: “For me, innovation is part of the strategy. The day-to-day work generates resources to advance, and in the medium term we work on continuous improvement, but innovation is what guarantees us success in the future, and that is why it is so important.” Recognised on multiple occasions for integrating a people-based management model, as well as for its innovative approach, this company’s competitive advantage lies in its high technical components and its customer orientation: “It’s not about selling parts, it’s about satisfying customer needs. We solve problems and add value,” explains Jon Angulo, CEO of Hidro Rubber, which employs around 80 people and exports 86% of its production, mainly to China, Germany and the USA.
