From http://www.leconomic.cat/neco/article/4-economia/18-economia/316004-espa-fabricara-bombes-electriques-al-brasil-turquia-i-la-xina-el-2013.html (in Catalan)
Catalan company Espa Bombas Eléctricas SA will start producing pumps in China, Turkey and Brazil by 2013. The company is willing to have a position on these emerging markets which would be not adequately served with only the present-day production center located in Banyoles (Girona). According to ESPA CEO, Josep Planas, this expansion should get the company back to the growth path after two years of recession and decrease in sales. Despite the crisis, ESPA has maintained the R+D activity and the energy-saving developments for pumps achieved in the recent years are becoming a factor of greater attractiveness for customers. The company is still targeting the residential sector as their principal market and it is preparing some strategies aimed at promoting the renovation of old equipments which are less energy efficient. ESPA is also willing to create an internet site called CyberESPAi which is intended to provide a better communication with customers. ESPA has also received support from ACC1Ó for the reserach on of high-tech pumps for domestic use.
