The objective is to strengthen the defense of the sector, and to promote the quality, sustainability and competitiveness of the Spanish domestic tap and valve industry.

The National Association of Tap and Valve Manufacturers ( AGRIVAL ) has re-elected Antonio Pardal as president of the association during its last General Assembly, thus renewing its confidence in a figure who has played a key role in the consolidation, representation and projection of the sector during the last years.

Antonio Pardal has held the presidency of AGRIVAL since 2012 , having been re-elected every four years. His continued leadership of the association reinforces AGRIVAL's commitment to a president with a solid track record, in-depth knowledge of the industry, and a strategic vision focused on defending the interests of manufacturing companies in an increasingly demanding and competitive environment. Pardal is the CEO of PRESTO IBÉRICA , one of the leading companies in the sector.

The renewal of Antonio Pardal at the head of AGRIVAL consolidates a stage characterized by the strengthening of AGRIVAL's role as a representative voice of the Spanish domestic tap and valve industry, as well as by the promotion of initiatives aimed at improving the competitiveness of the associated companies, reinforcing their capacity for anticipation and highlighting the contribution of a strategic sector for the efficient management of water, industrial innovation and sustainability.

During this new term, the association will continue working on the main pillars that define its activity and which were analyzed at the last General Assembly. These include defending the sector's interests within a constantly evolving regulatory framework, both nationally and at the European level, as well as monitoring the main regulatory developments that affect manufacturers' activities. In this context, AGRIVAL will continue to pay special attention to issues such as sustainability , the circular economy , product safety , materials in contact with drinking water , and the evolution of the EU legislative framework —all areas of increasing importance for the industry.

AGRIVAL will continue to maintain an active participation in the CEIR (European Committee of the Tap and Valve Industry) and will continue with the development of the AGRIVAL Market Observatory , a strategic tool that allows monitoring the evolution of sector activity and offers valuable information for business decision-making.
