SPOTLIGHT ON EUROSTYLE SYSTEMS: Creating a Sustainable Automotive Sector
Interview with Victor Gonzalez, Plant Manager for Eurostyle Systems
The automotive industry has had a rough time over the past four years. The sector has seen a number of changes in the market along with external factors that have influenced consumer purchasing behaviours. The shift from traditional internal combustion engine-powered vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) have raised consumer concerns. Until new EVs and other more sustainable vehicles become the consumer norm, uncertainty for production orders will impact labour demand and supply chain functioning.
So, what does the automotive sector need to do to remain viable and successful in a rapidly changing world?
According to Eurostyle Systems, Spain, Plant Manager Víctor González Franco , the keys lie in an image makeover and skills transferability:
With all this fast-paced evolution and restructuring going on, it would seem that the automotive sector is the place to be for workers who have a passion for using new tech, for driving innovation, and for supporting efforts to protect the planet.

Yet still, per Gi Group Holding’s new Global Trends report on the auto industry, only 10% of younger candidates say the automotive sector is the best field to work in.
With transition in mind, the industry must plan for hiring and educating a labour force that can work through market disruption. Candidates sought for the industry’s current phase need to be flexible and able to adapt quickly to use of new technologies and also sometimes unpredictable situations. Although, it is not particularly obvious from the messaging coming out of the industry, the modern automotive manufacturing space is innovative, technology-driven, and increasingly socially responsible.
"Our company is looking for talent that gets the people factor as well as having needed operational and tech skills. We need operators and engineers who understand the value of teamwork. Our industry is increasingly a space for collaboration; especially, when it comes to tasks like process design, management and oversight.” - Victor Gonzalez, Plant Manager for Eurostyle Systems

Researcher in the precious metals refinery
5mo. 3. Because we are not dependent on expensive mines and we use cheap feed and abundant mineral waste, so the cost of our products is much lower than the current producers in the world. 4. Due to the reasons mentioned above, our project is cost effective compared to our competitors with much lower capacities. And so it is possible to start with less investment. 5. In our project, precious metal products can be separated and sold even at the pilot plant level from the day of the start of cooperation. And it is unlike most projects that have a salable product after 100% completion of the project. This advantage also reduces the need for project capital. 6. In the development phase of this project, in addition to increasing the production capacity, we have the possibility of simultaneous production of related products of nano materials, salts and catalysts of gold and precious metals in separate and new production lines. By increasing the portfolio of products, the profitability of the project will double. We hope to commercialize the project soon with your participation. +98 9125753769 a.tamizy.chem@gmail.com With the best respect
