As we are one step away from the end of an intense 2019, we take stock of a year full of professional and personal news. We look back with satisfaction on having fulfilled commitments to old and new customers, having successfully faced changes demanded by the sector and having contributed to the creation of new sustainable business models both within and outside our community. Throughout the year our team has never ceased in its effort to offer the most complete services available related to the execution of integral installations, incorporating all the latest developments and fully meeting the needs of those who have chosen us.
With this enriching and rewarding background we can now enter into a new year that will be especially significant to Estel Ingeniería y Obras: we celebrate our silver anniversary! No more and no less than 25 years in the business, and during these years we have managed to go beyond Mallorca and Spain to leave our mark on countless foreign projects in the UK, the US, Argentina, Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Algeria, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, among many other countries.
We face 2020 proud of our first-class industrial and global team, specialised in engineering and international installations for hotels, construction companies, public administrations, private individuals… Our human resources make it possible for us to take on the management and execution of any initiative, no matter how complex or large it is, and in any location.
Our goal is to keep working on every new project with the same enthusiasm as when we started, without losing sight of the values that have defined us from the very beginning: respect for the environment, optimisation of resources, incorporation of the latest advances in the sector and a commitment to quality and safety.
