FCC has welcomed a group of students from the American
University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) at its corporate
headquarters in Las Tablas. Íñigo Presmanes, head of
FCC’s Corporate Development Department and leader of
the visit, which was organised by the EAE Business School
and FCC’s Communications and CSR Department, explai-
ned the Group’s history, its different business areas and its
internationalisation process to the students and professors.
Afterwards, he talked about the Environmental Services
area and particularly about the corresponding international
division in which he works.
The students actively participated in different talks by ex-
changing views with the speaker and asking questions
about the Group’s activities and the differences between
Spanish and American regulations in the area of environ-
mental services.
The EAE Business School has once again place its trust in
the Citizen Services Group to show international students
the work carried out in a multinational company, which has
gone from being a local Spanish company to one that works
and provides services in four continents.
