ASPAPER

Jordi Aguiló, general director of Ence cellulose, assumes for the next two years the presidency of ASPAPEL (Spanish Association of Pulp, Paper and Cardboard Manufacturers). Through this appointment, made by its Board of Directors, Jordi Aguiló replaces Eduardo Querol in office, vice chairman of the LECTA Group. During his term, Aguiló will be accompanied by Miguel Ángel Jiménez, general manager of Saica Paper, who will continue to be vice president of ASPAPEL.

Jordi Aguiló has a solid track record spanning more than a decade in the pulp, paper and cardboard production industry and in the energy sector. Since 2012, he has held various management roles at Ence, including General Manager of the Energy business and General Manager of the Pulp business. Currently, Aguiló is General Manager of Pulp at Ence and serves as President of Ence Biogas, the Ence subsidiary that promotes the circular economy by transforming organic waste into biogas. 

At a key moment for reindustrialisation, Jordi Aguiló will chair the national association of an essential sector, which positions our country as the sixth largest producer of paper and cardboard and among the top five in cellulose production in the European Union. Likewise, the industry places Spain as the third largest recycler of paper and cardboard in the European Union and generates 16.694 direct jobs and around 85.000 indirect jobs. Aguiló's experience, together with the commitment and commitment to innovation of ASPAPEL and the entire sector, will contribute to the pulp, paper and cardboard producing industry improving its competitiveness, emerging stronger from the challenge of decarbonisation and remaining at the forefront of the bioeconomy and circularity. 

Aguiló holds a degree in Industrial Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, a degree in Physics from the University of Barcelona and an Executive MBA from IESE. All of his experience has given him a broad perspective on the management and optimization of operations in sectors related to energy and pulp, which is very valuable for building a more innovative and sustainable paper industry.
