Its main customers are the automobile companies Renault, Peugeot and Volkswagen-Seat, as well as suppliers of primary equipment for the automotive sector. Ecenarro currently has a staff of 64 persons and in the last four years has made a major effort as regards investment into modernizing its installations, with a global investment of 470 million pesetas.
