CATEC is strongly rooted in Andalusia, a Region in which it has three own centers, one in Seville, where its headquarters are located, and two in Jaén, specialized in carrying out flight tests for unmanned systems and drones (ATLAS centers ), being, therefore, the Region in which the majority of its employees work. In addition, the company has recently opened new headquarters in Santiago de Compostela, where it has doubled its workforce in just a few months.
Most of the professionals who are part of its staff are engineers and technicians from different branches: Aeronautics, Mechanics, Electronics, Robotics and Mechatronics, Materials, Physics, Telecommunications, Industrials, developing projects for different sectors, especially aerospace, although in recent years it has been expanding to new sectors of Industry and Energy.
