Original Spanish Read in English

Fernando Abril-Martorell will relinquish his position as CEO of Urbaser to be succeeded by Carlos Albi, who currently holds the role of Director of Operations (COO). Abril-Martorell will become the non-executive chairman of the group starting from next year, when the acquisition by a consortium of Blackstone and EQT is expected to be finalized.

The acquisition, valued at around €5.6 billion, closed in the previous week. Abril-Martorell will oversee the board of directors, strategy, corporate governance, and the executive team's performance, while exercising less day-to-day involvement in the company's management. Albi, on the other hand, will continue his role as CEO, having been the head of corporate development, strategy, and sustainability until now.

The two executives have been instrumental in the company's revaluation since joining in 2022, following Platinum's investment. The duo, along with Ignacio Mosquera, the new CFO from Gestamp, will continue to steer the company with slight changes, as the new owners, Blackstone and EQT, opt to maintain the existing leadership team.
