Generational Change
GENERATIONS
#PartByPart
The generational change in Teknia is built part by part. The company is amidst a generational change and in its plants people of different ages coexist. They are parts of a team in which generational diversity is one of its great strengths. We are better together.
Right now, we are combining the profiles with more seniority with those who want to change and transform the company. The key to generational change is knowing how to unite those two worlds.
Javier Quesada de Luis
TEKNIA CEO
In companies like ours, where there are different generations, it is important to listen to the opinions of everyone so that the decisions are more accurate.

Gerardo Arredondo
Operator at Teknia San Luis Potosí
My older colleagues give me good advice. For example, not to be afraid, to grab the opportunities that come my way, because if I let them pass me by I might regret them later.
In production, the most important thing is the camaraderie between all the people who work in the plant. Respecting each other and listening to all opinions seems to me to be the most important thing.
Nagore Fernández
OPERATOR AT TEKNIA ELORRIO
It’s remarkable to see how older people who are used to doing manual work, have the capacity to recycle themselves and adapt to new technologies with enthusiasm.

Commitment to young talent
Teknia is committed to developing young talent in the regions where the company operates to position itself as a leader in the professional development of its teams. As part of this commitment, Teknia has launched the innovative Moving Talent program, designed to nurture the talent of new generations. This program aims to involve young professionals from various Teknia centers worldwide, providing them with a comprehensive view of the company and its strategies.
The company also maintains active collaboration with educational entities to promote the professional growth and employability of future professionals entering the automotive industry. A notable example of this commitment is Teknia’s sponsorship of the Formula Student teams from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and the Rzeszów University of Technology (Poland).
My generation should learn to have better emotional control. To become better observers, nurture curiosity, and embrace new challenges because challenges are what create experience.
