Pere Girbau Pous explained that the key to Girbau’s success is “investing in projects over the long term and remaining loyal to the way we are. Not only are we convinced that what we do is relevant, but also that we have to be very careful how we do things”. Mercè Girbau pointed to the company’s future lines and added that they are optimistic "We are working to strengthen our sales network worldwide, looking ahead and working hard to prepare ourselves for the future. In order to achieve this, our competitive advantage is our professional team, our people"
