Andaltec, the Technological Centre for Plastics based in Spain, has brought more than 40 companies from across Spain’s southern región of Andalusia to found the Andalusian Plastic Cluster, in the castle of Alcaudete (Jaén).
This Cluster joins companies with public organisations to develop new polymeric materials and plastic transformation schemes. Public institutions, plastic industry companies and Andaltec will work side by side in order to generate quality jobs and sustainable wealth for the region. Andaltec will be leading this project, as the European Cluster Collaboration Platform has already registered this Technological Centre for Plastics within the Plastic Cluster for Southern Spain
Javier Carnero, regional minister of the Andalusian Department for Labour, Business and Trade pledged his department would pass the new Cluster Strategy for Andalusia 2017-2020. He said: “This initiative is intended to foster the presence of these business clusters and achieve that they are not only smart companies for the development of competitive capabilities, but also powerful structures which are perfectly aligned with the general interest of industrial policies.”
