For his part, the President Performer Group Haas Spain and France, Bruno Lea, emphasized Haas' commitment to Gipuzkoa as an industrial area of reference letter: "We want to be here because Gipuzkoa is possibly the cradle of the tool machine in Europe, along with Germany and Switzerland", acknowledged Lea during his speech.
