- In 2024 Surco Interiors acquired Maderas Iglesias, now specialised in the manufacture of parquet and derivatives, where more than 60 people currently work, more than half of them women
- It is an example, she says, of how collaboration between the company and the regional administration “ensured that employment and, above all, the added value of this industry remained in this area”
O Porriño (Pontevedra), 20 January 2026
The Councillor for Economy and Industry, María Jesús Lorenzana, accompanied by the Director of the Igape, Covadonga Toca, highlighted today the support work that the Xunta offers to Galician companies through the Galicia Economic Office when it comes to ensuring the maintenance of activity and employment.
Lorenzana visited today in O Porriño (Pontevedra) the facilities of Surco Interiors, which in 2024 acquired the former Maderas Iglesias, specialised in the manufacture of parquet and derivatives, and where more than 60 people currently work, more than half of them women, she indicated. An example, she said, of how collaboration between the company itself and the regional administration “ensured that employment and, above all, the added value of this industry remained in this area”.
Specifically, the Xunta’s support was granted through the line of loans for strategic investments and the business attraction line, specified Lorenzana, who took the opportunity to recall that the Official Gazette of Galicia (DOG) published last Friday most of the aid that the Galician Institute for Economic Promotion (Igape) will make available to companies this year 2026, totalling 181 million euros.
The councillor referred to Surco Interiors as part of the forest-industry chain in Galicia, which she considered “key” to the Galician economy. As she recalled, the Xunta has just approved—in the Council last Monday—the draft Master Plan for the forestry sector, to deepen the objectives of modernising this industry, automation, closing value chains, use of wood and staff training.
The Galician forest-industry chain accounts for around 1.7% of Galicia’s GDP. Its annual turnover exceeds 2,400 million euros and it employs more than 13,600 people.
