SPAIN: Susana Rodríguez, president of the Asofrío Group, has been appointed as the president of the Spanish refrigeration association AEFYT. 

The first female president of the association, Rodríguez takes over from Frost-trol CEO Roberto Solsona, who has held the position since 2011.

With more than 25 years of experience in the refrigeration sector, Susana Rodríguez has been general director of Friex since 2010 and president of Asofrío since 2013. She has been a vice-president of AEFYT since 2016.
