During the ceremony, AVIA President Emilio Orta stated that “it is the first time that the sector gathers together to acknowledge our contribution to the Valencian economy, the productive landscape, labour and quality of life”. “We cannot forget that we generate a 6.5% of the Valencian Community’s labour, and we have achieved that because the automotive sector is the most competitive industry in existence nowadays. And it is because of this that, for the first time in the 13 years of this institution, we wanted to start celebrating who we are”.

In this context, the award has a special value to Compañía Levantina de Reductores, a value that serves as extra motivation to face any new challenge that the future may bring.
