Focke Meler hosts the first face-to-face APD meeting after COVID-19

Last Friday, June 26, Focke Meler had the honor of hosting the last meeting of the Association for Management Progress (APD) at its new corporate headquarters in Navarra. This event, marked by an exceptional economic situation, has allowed the renewal of the Association’s board of directors. The APD celebrates 10-years presence in Navarre. 

Héctor Barbarín (director general CNTA) e Isabel Moreno (directora territorial en Navarra, Aragón y La Rioja de Caixabank) asumen las vicepresidencias que antes ocupaban José Antonio Arrieta (presidente de ARPA Abogados Consultores) y Ana Díez (directora territorial de Navarra en Caixabank) respectivamente. También se han designado dos nuevas incorporaciones: José Ignacio Pérexz de Albéniz (ARPA Abogados Consultores) y Jesús Pegenaute (director general Asesores Pegenaute Rosón).

After the meeting, attendees visited the facilities under safety protocols and had the opportunity to see a demonstration of a hotmelt system application.

As a perfect ending, Luis Sabalza, president of Club Atlético Osasuna, shared with the audience its own way of understanding the football industry and the very special feeling about being the president of such an important club in Navarre.

Javier Aranguren, general director of Focke Meler Gluing Solutions closed the event highlighting the satisfaction of resuming the activity and being able to host this marked event for the APD in the new corporate headquarters. This moment has been crucial for business managers and their decisions have been key during the pandemic period. All attendees agreed on the importance of keeping the industrial environment alive through the joint work of associations such as the APD.
