Starting in the 90s, the world became globalized, and we understood this trend when we made our first export in 1999.
But in recent years, changes and transformations in the world have occurred in a more unexpected, disruptive and continuous way; which has led to the fact that neither the largest nor those with the best facilities and environments succeed or remain.
Our headquarters are located in Argentina, but our clear vision and determination for excellence, plus the flexibility and speed to understand and adapt to the changing circumstances of the world, are leading us to deepen our internationalization.
Our multidisciplinary team continues to grow with the incorporation of professionals from different countries and cultures.
We also research and select allies around the world who share our vision and values.
With this determination and resources, we are strengthening our internationalization.
We are a Professional Organization of family origin, family ownership, family work and professional management in the hands of the GRANA family.
Since the origins of our founder Juan Carlos Grana, around the end of the 60s, we have always been guided by the best values: effort, tenacity, perseverance, a deep-rooted work culture, responsibility, honesty, ethics and a deep passion for sharing, for creativity, innovation and achievement.
Today the ownership and management is in the hands of the second and third generations, who work professionally and responsibly every day with all their people.
The great blessing of having been chosen and illuminated by God has been a great source of inspiration to redesign a new management model, based on Christian pillars, where we pursue with strong determination to bless, build, benefit and provide value to all our audiences, prioritizing our people.
Our clear business vision motivates and drives us to continue growing in a sustainable and seminal way, always as a family.
Technology, infrastructure, financial resources, geographical location, are meaningless without a good team. The difference is made by our people.
They are the ones who have been faithfully accompanying us for a long time and with a high commitment, aligned with our values and policies.
But with an inclusive spirit, we open the doors of our organization to all professionals who want to join our dreams and desires and align themselves with those values and policies. Thus, we continually add new professionals of different backgrounds, ages, origins, genders and nationalities, as well as continue to expand our network of allies throughout Argentina and the world.
For all our people we have career plans, training programs and exclusive benefits that differentiate us in the labor market of our region.
Since 2016, we have been working tirelessly to take care of our planet and minimize the negative impacts of all our activities.
We carry out all our environmental management using the “17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations” as a guide.
In 2017, we were the first industry in the Province of Santa Fe to incorporate a renewable solar energy generation system, through photovoltaic panels, on the roof of our factory. 23% of the energy we consume comes from the sun.
We have the clear objective of reaching the end of 2021, with 60% solar generation and by the beginning of 2023 we will have 100% of our electricity consumption, supplied by natural, renewable and non-polluting sources.
But we have invested a lot in our lighting systems, which are 100% LED, our air conditioning equipment is 100% inverter, very low consumption and high efficiency.
We have greatly optimized the consumption of our machines, through heavy investments in energy efficiency technologies.
Our entire production chain is supplied with 100% recyclable, non-polluting supplies and materials.
Since 2018, we have separated all our waste and scrap, with the strong and committed participation of all our people. We are a pioneering company awarded by the City Hall of Rafaela.
We provide continuous support and training to our people on health care, nutrition and household waste separation. Our people have additional private medical coverage, emergency service at their homes provided by our company, plus the benefit of a balanced lunch.
We encourage the continuous incorporation of people of different genders and we finance extra-work education and training programs for our people.
We organize and finance talks by specialists on the SDGs for the entire community of our City.
We have financed and planted 22 trees in the public spaces bordering our industrial plant and we take care of their daily care.
We finance, build and install a public lighting system with 100% solar supply, for a needy neighborhood in our City of Rafaela.
In this way, our Company promotes, invests in and is proud of its contributions to the realization of a sustainable society and our continued efforts to make the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) a reality.
