The POMA plus

local presence policy

POMA has a strong local presence policy to address a twofold issue: better understand the context of the operation and maintenance through its environment and its inhabitants; but also the ability to contribute to value creation through employment and vocational training in the region.

At POMA, cultural diversity is a strength to promote a shared passion, namely ropeway transport that connects people and regions. This characteristic approach from POMA creates links, so that, with the experience gained over the years, local employees can join the POMA Academy, travelling around the world to share their knowledge.
