Visit highlights the company’s role in technological development and its strong connection to the community
Today, 18 March, EID had the honour of welcoming Dom Américo Aguiar to its facilities, in a visit of special significance for the company and its people.
The aim of the visit was to enable the Bishop to familiarise himself with various institutional and business entities in the region, including organisations playing a significant role in technological and industrial development.
The delegation, which also included Father José Carlos Eugénio, Rute Santos, Luís Milhano, José Carlos Silva and the Diocese’s reporter Ricardo Perna, was welcomed at the company’s premises with the programme beginning with a welcome and a meeting with the leadership team.
A closer look at EID’s activity
During the morning, the visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the activities of EID, a Portuguese company with over four decades of experience in the development and production of advanced technological solutions for communications and electronics, with a presence in various international markets.
Beyond its technological dimension, this moment also highlighted what also defines EID: its people, its roots in the region and its commitment to the community.
Technology and industrial capability on display
This was followed by a tour of the production area, allowing the delegation to observe first-hand some of EID’s industrial processes and capabilities, as well as the work carried out by the technical and engineering teams.
This visit provided an opportunity to gain a closer insight into the company’s activities and the role that EID plays in developing highly complex technological solutions, thereby contributing to Portugal’s standing in the engineering and technology sectors.
A company rooted in its community
With a strong presence in the region for over 40 years, EID has grown alongside the local community, with many of its employees coming from the surrounding area. This journey has been also supported by close collaboration with universities and academic institutions, fostering the development, recruitment and growth of young talent in engineering and technology.
As part of the visit, EID gathered a group of employees for a blessing ceremony of the company and its people, creating a moment of reflection and proximity that reinforced the human dimension of the organisation and its connection to the community.
Commitment beyond industry
At the same time, EID continues to play an active role in society by participating in social initiatives and supporting projects with a positive community impact, reinforcing its commitment beyond its industrial activity.
EID thanks His Eminence for this moment of dialogue and proximity, reinforcing the importance of strong ties between institutions, communities and industry.
