On Friday October 4, the MAV Cluster dismissed its president, Maria Josep Riba, who has retired. Lubrizol Engineered Polymers' Global Sustainability and Open Innovation Manager has led the organization over the last year. With his retirement, he leaves behind a career marked by commitment to innovation and sustainability within the advanced materials sector.

In his place, Antonio Onteniente, current director of operations of Cooling Photonics and member of the Board of Directors, will assume the presidency of the MAV Cluster. Onteniente aims to continue with the expansion and consolidation of the cluster as a transversal reference in innovation and collaboration projects at national and international level.

Despite the departure of Riba, Lubrizol will continue to have representation on the Board of Directors of the Cluster, with Bárbara Galisteo, Global Application and Lab Manager - Adhesives Estane, who will continue to contribute to the strategic development of the entity.

The new presidency maintains the desire to grow the MAV Cluster, promoting collaboration between companies and promoting innovative solutions for the challenges of the advanced materials sector, with an eye towards sustainability and excellence.
