During the month of November, the plant’s employees attended a key millstone of the project: the installation of the R-3002 reactor. Other reactors are still expected within the next years, in order to be fully prepared to take advantage of the double-digit growth of the electronics markets: microprocessors, memories, Internet of the object, organic electronics…
