Today, as an international company that also has a presence in other production areas, MCG reinforces its strong position worldwide daily and within a European industry that grows and improves even in times of opposition. Here are some numbers from the day-to-day MCG that help give dimension to the magnitude of the projects carried out by the MCG automotive, MCG industry and MCG transportation business areas. 15,246 m3 of water collected by own means in MCG per year: the equivalent to seven full Olympic swimming pools. 35,000 m2 of total area of MCG facilities in Carregado: the equivalent to almost 3,5 football fields. 2,000 meters, the total length of all floors produced by MCG transportation in 2019: that is five laps on an Olympic stadium! 520 trucks leave MCG per year for the Autoeuropa factory: if all were aligned, they would fill the road from Carregado to Vila Franca de Xira, the closest city to MCG. 2,308 hours of training given to MCG Employees per year: it would be enough to sail around the world… twice! 23,500 tons of metal purchased by MCG in 2019: the total weight of 128 Boing 747 aircraft. 197 thousand bolts used in the MCG industry assembly section per year: 4.5 times more than the number of inhabitants in the county of Alenquer, the municipality where MCG is based. 37 thousand km traveled by some MCG transportation floors from production to the premiere location of the train they are destined for: that’s almost equivalent to a complete journey around the globe. 35 million press blows (machines involved in the stamping processes for automotive components): the same number of heartbeats of an adult person for a year, on average. 120 thousand km of laser cutting: the equivalent of three rounds to planet Earth on the Equator. 350 tons of CO2 saved due to MCG’s production of solar energy. 97 thousand recyclable cardboard boxes used in product packaging: enough to cover an area six times larger than Carregado, the town where MCG is located. 1,285 km of welding wire consumed in this type of process: the distance between Carregado and Barcelona, a Spanish city. 44 thousand safety gloves used by MCG Employees: enough to wear all the inhabitants of the municipality of Alenquer.
