The Nippon firm has therefore put its weight behind an ambitious expansion plan in the territory, aiming to double sales here by 2015, which will require a further 60 employees, bringing the number up to over 190 workers.

NTT Communications has been established in Catalonia since 2001 and finished the year financial year with sales of €18.8 million.
