Copreci begins a new stage with Javier García San Martín (Aretxabaleta, 1971) as the new general manager of the cooperative. Until now, Javier was Operations and Production director at Ulma Forge Solutions and has more than 20 years of experience in management committees.

Mechanical technical engineer from Mondragon Unibertsitatea, he later studied mechanical design at the Polytechnic School of Lausanne (Switzerland).

He worked as manager in the mechanical design department of Ikerlan Technology Center, and later held various positions at Fagor Electrodomésticos.

As Javier told us, “I am very excited, I am aware that it is a very important challenge, socially and business-wise, and I am willing to work hard so that we all feel part of this project.”

Coincidentally, Javier García is the son of Javier García, who also had a relevant professional career in the cooperative, since he worked in the Purchasing department, was president between 1999-2003 and concluded his career as manager of Copreci México. So Javier García Jr. has the advantage of having that emotional bond with Copreci, after having lived the adventure of the cooperative at home. Good luck for the new stage!
