The Spanish Association of Purchasing, Contracting, and Procurement Professionals (AERCE) has organised a visit to the Port of Valencia, one of the largest economic players in the Valencian Community and Spain.

The delegation was made up of some thirty purchasing managers and technicians from different companies who were able to get to know the day-to-day activity of the port and the operation of the commercial area of Valenciaport, as well as the opportunities for companies offered by the Spanish port and the fourth largest in Europe in terms of container traffic.

Port facilities

The head of Commercial and Clients of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), Cristina Rodriguez, made a presentation to the AERCE delegation, who also learned about the Valenciaport purchasing system from Pablo Montero, head of the Management Office, and Vicente Montaner, head of Purchasing Management.

The AERCE representatives toured the port facilities, specifically the hammer area in the South Contradique and the North Extension where the new container terminal will be located.
