Spanish term or phrase: cabecera
This has been driving me insane for about an hour so I really hope there are some people out there this afternoon who can help!

"Se preveía un otoño negro para las plantas asturianas de Arcelor y los augurios se están cumpliendo. A partir de la semana que viene la multinacional ejecutará la mayor parada de la última década en la región, con la detención varias jornadas de todas las líneas acabadoras de Avilés y también el tren de chapa y alambrón de Gijón. Todo esto implica la necesidad de menos piezas que laminar y tendrá consecuencias en las instalaciones de cabecera. De momento, la compañía anunció ayer que la acería de la planta de Avilés, la LDIII, situada realmente en Tabaza (Carreño), reducirá su producción a partir del lunes y durante todo el mes de octubre, lo que significa que la actividad no volverá a la normalidad, al menos, hasta el año que viene, porque en noviembre se desarrollará la segunda fase de reforma de la instalación y no se prevé que finalice hasta enero de 2020."

Many thanks!
