Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace, the regional aerospace and defense cluster, held its General Assembly today at the headquarters of the Confederation of Andalusian Business Leaders (CEA), where a change in leadership took place. Fernando Alarc\u00f3n de la Lastra, CEO of Canagrosa, a provider of highly specialized technical services in the aerospace industry, was unanimously elected as the new president of Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace for the next four years. He is an industrial engineer from the University of Seville, and his involvement with the aerospace sector began in 2012 when he joined Canagrosa, assuming the role of CEO in 2024. His drive to implement a strategy of diversification, technological innovation, and the company\u2019s international expansion earned him recognition in 2024 as \u201cAerospace Executive of the Year,\u201d an annual award presented by Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace since 2019.<\/p>\n

He takes over from Antonio G\u00f3mez-Guillam\u00f3n, co-founder and CEO of the multinational engineering firm Aertec Solutions, who has led Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace since its founding. Under his two terms, the Andalusian aerospace and defense cluster has experienced a period of growth and consolidation, and today comprises more than a hundred companies. G\u00f3mez-Guillam\u00f3n has played a key role at Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace, expanding and strengthening its representation of the Andalusian aerospace sector and its role as a liaison with the public administration and other national and international organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to express my sincere gratitude to all companies and organizations that are part of Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace for the trust they have placed in me over the years. It has been a privilege to lead this project from its inception and to work alongside the entire Andalusian aerospace ecosystem to build a strong, cohesive cluster with a voice of its own in the aerospace sector. This journey has been made possible thanks to the sector\u2019s collective commitment, the collaboration between companies and government agencies, and the efforts of a team that has firmly believed in Andalusia\u2019s potential. I am convinced that the cluster will continue to move forward successfully in this new phase, facing future challenges with ambition and unity,\u201d said Antonio G\u00f3mez-Guillam\u00f3n during his last speech to the members of Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace.<\/p>\n

For his part, Fernando Alarc\u00f3n de la Lastra stated that he assumes this responsibility \u201cwith enthusiasm and commitment, following the legacy left to us by Antonio, who has been a true example of leadership. \u201cWe will work to ensure that Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace remains a key player in the sector\u2019s development, focusing on innovation, talent, and collaboration between companies and institutions; a cluster that fosters dialogue, promotes integration, serves its member companies, adds value, and facilitates concrete opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
