A delegation of the Basque PP, presided over by Antonio Basagoiti, visited the IK4-Ideko facilities.

 
The attendees were able to see some of our most innovative development projects at the centre in the fields of ultra-precision and micromachining, and inspection and measurement.
 
Throughout the event, all the attendees agreed that the machine tool sector, beyond its size in the GDP, is strategic in a sustainable economy and provision for R&D must be maintained over time.
 
This visit took place with the idea of providing the Basque Partido Popular with a first hand impression of the machine tool industry. Also attending the visit, accompanying the Managing Director of AFM, Xabier Ortueta, were representatives of Adegi and the Danobat Group, Rafael Barrenetxea, Iñigo Ucin, Antxon López Usoz, and from the Partido Popular, Borja Sember, President of Gipuzkoa, Juan Carlos Cano, Secretary General of the Gipuzkoa PP, and Javier Nuñez, PP Councillor in Elgoibar.
