INA Llanelli takes the prize for people development: Company believes the rate of learning must be greater than the rate of change

Training and development at a company that supplies components to the automotive industry could provide a template for business growth and development in an increasingly complex business world. INA Llanelli is the production facility for INA Bearing Company Ltd., a UK subsidiary of the German‐owned international group, INA Schaeffler KG. The Llanelli plant – which specializes in making bearings, precision components, mechanical tappets and tension pulleys, most of which are supplied to the automotive industry – recently won the people‐development company prize at the 2003 Welsh Business Awards.
