Description
HiRef, a Padua-based company specialising in air-conditioning systems for technological and technical environments, plans to hire around 40 people thanks to the opening of a new production facility, in which it has invested 12 million, and which will be built next to the existing structure in the Tribano industrial area. The new facility will be equipped with four new production lines and state-of-the-art energy-efficient facilities, and is scheduled to open by the end of 2024.
The expansion of the workforce is motivated by the significant increases in turnover recorded recently.
