Europerfil started in a small factory located in Rubí (Barcelona). In 1992, we opened 10,000 m² of new facilities in Cervera (Lérida) for profile manufacture. In order to locate the first panel line started up in 1998, we built a further 10,000 m². The second panel line opened in 2007 required the factory to be extended by an additional 10,000 m². Today we have 30,000 m² of productive facilities in Cervera in which the company makes constant investment to ensure that the productive means are the most advanced in the sector.

To strengthen our finance team and build our succession pipeline, we are looking for a Controller who will report directly to the CFO of Europerfil. The position is located in Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona).
