Mission and values

Our mission at Tirso is to provide the best possible service and materials to our customers and suppliers, playing close attention to the sustainable development of the area we work in, and with the utmost respect and protection of the environment.

Our values, which were instilled in the company since it was founded in 1956 by Tirso Gonzalez and his wife, Maximina Portilla, are centred on two fundamental principles: dialogue, as an expression of the spirit of negotiation and the search for new business options and opportunities; and the respect for others as an expression of the conviction that anyone involved in our operations: staff, customers, suppliers, etc. are all important and can bring value or knowledge to the company.

Our mission focuses on the objective of achieving sustained and sustainable medium to long-term growth, based on the commitment of all our staff, rewarding the collective effort of individual performance and maintaining consistency in the decisions we take in the course of time, aimed at achieving our objectives to the maximum extent.

Based on these principles, Tirso continues to develop its activities with a view to achieving even more ambitious objectives.
