The Saica Group showcased the strength of its packaging divisions at the 13th edition of its European Customer Convention, held recently in Valencia, Spain.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and innovation, through Saica Pack and Saica Flex, as the best strategies to face future challenges, in front of more than 600 attendees. Additionally, the event marked the unofficial handover of the company’s presidency, which Ramón Alejandro will transfer to Susana Alejandro on July 1.
After 14 years leading the organisation, the outgoing president reviewed the company’s history and expressed confidence that “not only will the Saica Group continue to enjoy the support of its customers, but also that it is now in the best hands.” Susana Alejandro, in turn, thanked Ramón Alejandro, calling him “a professional and personal role model.” Regarding the new phase, she stated that she takes it on “with the peace of mind knowing that the roadmap is already set,” referring to the ‘Saica 2025’ Strategic Plan, she expressed confidence in being able to face, together with the Group’s clients, the major “economic, technological, generational, environmental, and global” challenges that society is confronting.
Enrique de Yraolagoitia, Saica Managing Director, welcomed attendees and emphasised that customer orientation is one of the group’s strategic pillars. “Maintaining your trust is the best antidote to operating in such an uncertain world,” he said.
