Continuing with the generational change plan initiated eight years ago, the ownership and the Board of Directors have decided that, on May 1, 2025, Pau Xifra assume the presidency of comexi, taking over from the current president, Manuel Xifra, who will continue to collaborate as a member of the Board of Directors.
José Mª Pastor, current Director of Strategy and Transformation of the group, will lead the General Management of Comexi.
Pau Xifra, after a long career in the world of strategic consulting, joined the Comexi Board in 2018 and joined as Director of Strategy and Transformation in 2022. He was appointed General Manager in 2023, from where he has led the company's adaptation to current market needs, strengthening Comexi's position in the flexible packaging sector and achieving very positive results in both sales and profitability.
José Mª Pastor, with extensive experience in family businesses across various sectors, joined Comexi a year ago as Director of Strategy and Transformation. During this period, he has led the company's strategic progress and implemented transformation projects.
Manel Xifra, current president of Comexi, emphasized that this change is part of a carefully planned generational change, with the aim not only of ensuring the continuity of the project, but also of propelling it to take another step forward, a new stage of growth and consolidation, and thus continue as a family business. "Seventy years after the founding of our company, we are at an exciting time. We are experiencing a period of great change, and we believe it is positive that a new generation, with new ideas and ways of doing things, is leading the organization to address these challenges and achieve even more ambitious goals."
“I am very grateful to the Board and the owners for their trust. I am very happy to be able to continue the legacy of all those who have made Comexi what it is today, a world leader in flexible packaging solutions. My responsibility is to continue building on these solid foundations and contributing to the growth of this great company. I know that, with the talent and dedication of the entire team, we have a future full of challenges and opportunities that we will successfully overcome,” comments Pau Xifra.
José Mª Pastor emphasizes: "I face this challenge with great responsibility, enthusiasm, ambition, and gratitude. I will work and dedicate all my efforts to continue implementing the defined strategy, supported by the strength of the team and with the ambition to continue growing, consolidating the positive trajectory of recent years."
