Horizon 2025
Factor's fundamental pillars for this new year are: innovation, sustainability, internationalization and talent development
Factor begins 2025 with the determination to consolidate the growth of the last three years, strengthen its competitiveness and continue to advance in innovation and sustainability. In an international context marked by geopolitical uncertainty and changes in tariff policies, the company maintains its roadmap, adapting to the challenges with measures that reinforce its resilience and allow it to take advantage of new opportunities.
A 2024 of growth and achievements
The balance of 2024 has been very positive. Factor has experienced sustained growth in its turnover, has expanded its team with the incorporation of talent and has strengthened its innovative DNA through the implementation of advanced technologies that have improved its own competitiveness and that of its customers. All this lays the foundations for facing the challenges of 2025 with confidence and strategic vision.
Innovation and technological transformation
The machine tool and machining sector is in a permanent innovation, with the adoption of enabling technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), automation and robotics, allowing processes to be more robust and efficient. In this context, Factor is committed to integrating these technologies into its production processes to ensure efficiency, accuracy and competitiveness. Digital transformation is no longer an option, but an indispensable requirement to lead the market.
Expanding and improving production capacity
In line with its growth strategy, Factor has designed an ambitious and sustainable investment plan aimed at strengthening its competitiveness and production capacity. The inauguration of its new 2.000 m² facilities is scheduled for mid-2025, which will enable it to expand production and support its customers in the development of high value-added projects.
Strategies to strengthen the sector
Factor bases its strategy on five fundamental pillars: sustainability, cutting-edge technology, innovation in processes and products, internationalization and talent development. It also seeks to strengthen cooperation with its strategic partners - customers, suppliers, universities, technology centers and professional associations - to generate synergies and promote the growth of the sector.
Commitment to sustainability
Sustainability is a priority in Factor's strategy, not only as a declaration of intentions, but also as a real commitment to society and future generations. The company is committed to responsible and sustainable growth based on collaboration with all the players in the industrial ecosystem, including the Administrations that play a key role in this process.
Talent development and continuous training
For Factor, talent management is key to the future of the company. Without talent there is no future, and its development must be on the agenda. For this reason, it is committed to innovation in training, promoting initiatives that awaken interest, facilitating its attraction and retention, incorporating technology in training methodologies and exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence. In addition, it will continue to promote collaboration with universities, vocational training institutes and technology centers, through internship programs, scholarships, dual vocational training (FP) or workplace training (FCT), essential strategies to attract talent and ensure the generational change in the sector.
Strategic alliances and European projects
Factor will continue to strengthen its collaboration network with academic institutions (universities, vocational training institutes), industry associations (FEMEVAL, VALMETAL, AFM, ASECAM or the Chamber of Commerce) and technology centers. As strategic allies, these synergies are key to address the major challenges of the sector and enhance competitiveness at national and international level.
In addition, it will continue to focus on collaboration under the consortium model, not only at the European level, but also in national and regional projects. The concept of open innovation is particularly enriching, as it allows to generate positive synergies among consortium members, broaden perspectives and explore new solutions developed by other players in the innovation ecosystem. Participating in the same project together with a technology center in Malaga, a university in Greece and companies from different European countries, to a total of thirteen partners, is a highly enriching experience.
Values that will guide this 2025
Trust, commitment, respect and collaboration are the values that guide Factor, pillars on which its decisions and strategies are based. In 2025, it also reaffirms its commitment to innovation, sustainability and talent development, transforming challenges into opportunities and consolidating its position as a benchmark in the sector.
