Eva Pando focuses on digitalization and the circular economy the challenges of Asturian industry in the post-COVID19 era

Eva Pando, General Manager of the Economic Development Agency of the Principality of Asturias (IDEPA), considers that Asturias is in a privileged position to lead the reindustrialization process that will necessarily have to take place once the effects of the COVID-19 give way to economic recovery.

“Asturias is an industrial region, we have a long tradition and a history of industry that we carry in our DNA. And these weeks of crisis have seen the supply of engineering linked to that industrial trajectory,” said Pando in an interview with Conecta Industria in reference to the proposals that are emerging from our region to fight against COVID-19.

Du Pont and Corteva, branches of the DowDuPont multinational, will have a European service centre in Asturias.



The North American multinational has opted for the Tamón complex (Carreño) to house its service centre, following Axalta’s envisaged transfer to the Asturias Technology Park in Llanera.

In Asturias the company has three factories, a service centre and 1,200 employees. Throughout this year it has incorporated around a hundred workers, a move that required additional building modules to accommodate them.

The service centre will function European-wide in the areas of human resources, information technologies, purchasing and logistics. It will also have a finance department offering its services globally. The companies are set to operate independently by 1st November, and the split will be definitive by June 2019.

Corteva, the agricultural division, and Du Pont, specialised products, belong to the DowDuPont company. This business conglomerate started operating in 2017 following the merge of the Dow Chemical and Du Pont multinationals. This multinational, with a 26-year history in Asturias, is present in over 90 countries, and is currently the largest chemical company in the world.
