52 staff between all branches.

The headcount for AIA Group stands at 52, of which 96% work in the headquarters in Barcelona, and 4% at the office opened recently in San Francisco, USA.

Most employees are Spanish nationals, although the organisation also employs people from Central Europe, Latin America and North America.

The directors and the technical staff have a considerable academic record, particularly in the field of national and international scientific research, and have been well trained at the most prestigious business management schools. This combination constitutes a key factor in the effectiveness of production processes, knowledge transfer and technological innovation.

Personnel is the Company's main asset. The priority of AIA Group is to encourage their creativity converting it into successful industrial solutions. AIA Group's state-of-the-art technology is the result of the joint intellectual effort of all the Company's team. At our headquarters in Barcelona there are specials spaces to encourage not only scientific exchange, but also co-existence  (library, indoor swimming pool, areas for games and conversation) and for informal ideas interchange. The training and opportunities we provide for our staff as we embed them into the latest and most interesting challenges related to the world of technology constitute the main incentives for their careers.

Plans to extend our staff for the year 2005 will basically focus on consolidation of the commercial distribution network to consolidate the company in the new expansion markets (USA, Brazil, Mexico).
