“The new Test Center Latam, a structure we are developing at the Santo André factory, will be very important for us to operate in an even more agile and integrated manner with all our areas,” explains Luiz Mari, director of research and development of Prometeon for the Americas. “By making the process more efficient, we will save time and be able to develop better products more quickly. Therefore, it is a significant step for the company’s evolution and our range of products, always aiming for the best for our customers.”
