Factorias Vulcano is one of the most important shipyards in Spain. The yard specialises in the construction of high tech mid-sized newbuildings, ranging between 80 and 170 m in length, even for some of the most demanding ship-owners and markets in the world. The company harks back to 1919, although its activity in the shipbuilding business began in 1940. In line with most of the European companies in this sector, the company has evolved progressively towards its current "synthesis shipyard" model. Currently, Factorias Vulcano is home to a highly-qualified staff specialised in the management of complex shipbuilding projects. They deliver proven expertise in the areas of planning, engineering, procurement and production coordination -all of which are integrated in quality management, environmental compliance and health risk prevention systems that boast the certifications ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, respectively. Additionally, Factorias Vulcano has access to the invaluable resource of the shipbuilding industry of the Vigo area, which provides the full spectrum of services required for the production of high-added value ships.hide
