November 13^th – Abengoa (MCE: ABG/P:SM), the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the infrastructure, energy and water sectors, celebrated today 50 years of activity in Argentina, through its subsidiary Teyma Abengoa, which was founded on this day in 1968.

Omar Alberto Ramírez, chairman of Teyma Abengoa, wanted to celebrate this day and "remember and thank all the people who have been part of this company and who work in it day by day, providing their effort and dedication in all their offices and projects", with the goal of Teyma Abengoa “to continue being a leading company in its sector and accompanying the country in the processes of change, participating in the most important projects in Argentina, being a leader in power transmission and to continue on the path to be so in infrastructure and water projects".

Teyma Abengoa was established in 1968 under the name Mellor Abengoa, although shortly after, it was renamed Abengoa Electrical and Mechanical Techniques, an acronym from which the name Teyma was born.
