At a meeting held yesterday, 21 May, the Executive Committee of Azkoyen S.A., the Board’s representative body, agreed the appointment of Rafael Mir Andréu as the new General Manager of the Group. Ignacio Moreno, who until now has held the post of General Manager, will continue to collaborate with the Board of Directors on projects determined by the Board.

This appointment has come about within the context of the strategic redesigning started by the Group at the beginning of this year.

A Higher Industrial Engineer from the Universidad Politécnica de Barcelona, Rafael Mir brings his broad experience in business management gained from his executive responsibilities in companies such as General Motors España, Tabacalera and Grupo Koxka.

Apart from the management of the Group, the new General Manager will work with the Executive Committee in the conclusion and implementation of the new strategic plan.
