So what’s got our BasqueStages Brenden and Luuk so interested?

Earlier this week we toured the Sammic factory. Sammic is the sponsor of the Sammic Scholarship for BasqueStage, based out of Azkoitia, a village inland from San Sebastián. They make all manner of professional kitchen equipment, from immersion blenders to vacuum sealing machines to dishwashers. The factory, where they forge the metal and assemble all machines, is onsite with the business offices.

Luuk and Brenden got the VIP treatment and a personal tour of the premises.

With Amaia from marketing, they went through the whole process of making these high-quality machines, from start to finish. The top photo that has them so enthralled is the polishing machine, filled with tiny balls that shine up each piece of metal.  Then, we took a tour of the studio, where videos (like this from our former stage Marco) are made to demonstrate Sammic machinery.

The boys got the red carpet rolled out for them…next time they’ll have their chance to star in one of the Sammic machinery videos…
