CASE STUDY:
A leading aerospace manufacturing company from the United States
In 2017, an aerospace company needed to improve their operational costs due to being part of an extremely competitive industrial field.
At the same time, they had been having difficulties finding the right employee profile in the USA.
Led by Sergio Vindiola, as their assigned Prodensa Project Manager, we decided to improve their manufacturing facilities by building a stand-alone plant in Mexico.
We also aided in the recruitment of more than 40 new members of staff, with an HR projection of increasing that workforce to 120 employees. The right profile and the correct place for better profitability and a lift off in productivity.
THE CHALLENGE
The Baja California region in Mexico gave them quick access by car and a sustainable workforce for their 90+ person cut & sew operation.
CHALLENGES
- Relatively low budget for design, implementation and marketing
- 8-week time constraint for the whole project
- Website must match existing digital corporate identity
- Website should be deeply integrated into the HubSpot solution
- Design & development from scratch is not feasible
- Customer would like to be able to edit content and structure
- Website must be implemented in three languages
- Webdesign must match modern design standards
