At present, despite the decline of the paper industry, boilers and welding remain strong, as in the 35 companies located in the valley there are more than a thousand workers working in welding and boilers.
But the particularity of this valley boiler is that stainless steel is used. In fact, in the paper, food, chemical, steel, air conditioning, etc. this material is widely used as well as aluminum and special alloys.

In collaboration with the companies in the sector, a project was developed to launch these studies, which also required significant investments.
