PBS and GPA will be accompa- nying them in these new challenges hand in hand with the best: BCN3D!” – Vynnie Mila, GPA Comercial Manager and PBS Regional Manager. GPA’s reasons for partnering with BCN3D The pandemic showed GPA how im- portant it is to be able to have local al- ternatives for the production of spare parts and pieces, bringing to the table the need for the 3D printing market in a professional manner. By always listening to the market, the GPA port- folio grows parallel to its needs and 3D printing has become a must. After analyzing different brands, GPA we decided on BCN3D because it had an excellent ROI, very clear advantages in terms of productivity over the competition, and an excel- lent team behind all its incredible technology. “BCN3D’s commitment to both cus- tomers and innovation was perfectly aligned with our company’s vision.
