Production and Distribution

PRODUCTION AND CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

The real strength of the Group and the fulcrum of its internationally acknowledged success is its control of the entire production cycle: design, manufacturing, the assembly of the mechanism, shipment and customer service. The system runs smoothly because it has an extremely effective and efficient internal organisation with several centres of excellence involved in design, production and logistics. Festina Group benefits from a proper industrial base created as a result of the determination and desire of its founder, Miguel Rodriguez. It has expanded over the years to its current dimension and has reached standards of quality that are unique in its field, putting the Group in an ideal position for competing at high levels. Festina Group is one of the very rare firms in the world that has the skills to develop and produce a complete watch, including all of the mechanical parts, so that it has an exclusive, competitive edge in its field.
