Mondéjar, located in the province of Guadalajara (Spain), has just over 2600 inhabitants. In Mondéjar, the food industry and agriculture predominate as main activities, although products for the audiovisual sector are also manufactured: in Mondéjar, Pinanson has had its headquarters and factory since 1983.
Pinanson carries out its activity in a building on the outskirts of Mondéjar:: “it takes me 10 minutes to walk every morning without being stressed by traffic,” says Sergio Fernández, operator in the Patch and Box workshop in Pinanson. Being located on the outskirts in a rural environment such as Mondéjar means spending a maximum of 15 minutes to get from home to work.

From our windows we can look the sowing, farming and harvesting phases of the wheat and barley of the adjoining fields, as well as see very closely how the swallows, year after year, decide to build their nests near our workplace or smell what will be the wine with Mondéjar Qualified Designation of Origin at the time of grape harvest – “all this is an anti-stress heal” – adds Sergio.
Pinanson is a family business, and it is something the staff feel too, which is worth highlighting:: “Being a family business working with townspeople, we all know each other for a long time and the relationship is very close, personal and therefore more gratifying ”- say Gema, Susana and Miriam, who work in the wiring workshop.
Familiarity is a characteristic of Pinanson, perceived by both workers and customers, “the relationship with our clients has always been very close and I believe that the familiarity breathed here is reflected and transmitted to them, who in many cases become friends ”- says Francisco de Lucas, commercial in Pinanson-“ Great connoisseurs of our brand know that Pinanson product is a tailor-made product for each customer and that it can only be created from a company concept like ours ” .
Pinanson staff work a continuous 8-hour day. “We believe in the advantages that an intensive work day has for the worker, being able to carry out family reconciliation” – points out the head of HR.
Spain has a big problem with depopulated areas and the so-called “emptied Spain” and it is important to note that our town has certain facilities that other towns in the province do not have. Mondéjar has educational and health centres, an extensive agenda of cultural and sports activities, good public transport and freight links, fibre broadband, as well as a certain proximity to Madrid (70 km).
The quality of life you enjoy in a town (comfort, safety, affordable housing, clean air, as Alba Perez from administration points out) shows, one way or another, in your daily work.
From Mondéjar, Pinanson has been contacting customers, designing, manufacturing, controlling and shipping its custom-made products from its rural setting since 1983, with the main aim of satisfying both its customers and its workers.
