A: “Nowadays our national market has been losing importance, because we have started to be present in international markets. It means that we are increasing the billing, therefore the specific weight in the Spanish market is minor.

Q: Leaving Perinox Co. aside, let's talk about ADIEX briefly. You have become the new president replacing Miguel Tapiador. What do you expect to do in this new period?
A: “We expect to try to strengthen more our presence in events where Castile-La Mancha is promoted, and above all, the province of Albacete. ADIEX must be an important core of collaboration among partners. Nowadays, we come from a crisis in our country which has had an effect on the grants given by the Government or the autonomous regions to the companies to be at international markets. The best way to fight this reduction is by collaborating to lessen the expenses or finding new opportunities of business in foreign markets. These two points are very important. Adiex was born with the idea that Albacete companies could be more present in international markets and at the same time attract investors to the province of Albacete”.
Q: In an interview in this website, Miguel Tapiador said that he was sure that you are going to do well in ADIEX. Some words for Miguel?
A: “Miguel is always a kind and generous person. I suppose that partially this comment is because we have worked together for a long time on the Board of Directors and we have shared many goals. In this way, we don't have to stray from the aim that Miguel had”.
