…who will take office one year later, on July 1, 2024. Following a smooth transition period, the retiring Ramón Alejandro, who served as chairman for 14 years, will be replaced by Susana Alejandro, the company’s current director of strategy and corporate development
“I am very proud to hand over the baton to the first woman to chair this company, a woman with solid values, great international experience, excellent training and a brilliant career at Saica“, said Ramón Alejandro.
Like Ramón, Susana Alejandro (born in Zaragoza, 1970) belongs to the third generation of the company’s founding families, who set up the business 80 years ago. She joined the company in 1996, after graduating in Business Administration by the University of Zaragoza and having received further training in taxation, strategic business planning and sales.
She also gained experience in a French subsidiary of the Mars Group, before starting in the financial department of Saica in Madrid and in France. After that, she moved on to the Corrugated Board division, where in 2003 she took over the general management of Iberia Operations and in 2010, the general management of the division. Since 2013, she has held the position of Director of Strategy and Corporate Development across the Saica Group.
Ramón Alejandro (born in Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina, 1961) has been linked to the group since 1988, when, after completing his studies at the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies at the University of Zaragoza and a Master’s degree at the University of Deusto, he worked and became manager at one of the cardboard factories that Saica had acquired in Mexico.
Later, in 1993, he led the company’s expansion in Europe as manager of another corrugated board factory in Lisbon. Back in Spain, in 1996 he became general manager of Iberia Operations at Saica Embalaje – today Saica Pack – and in 2001 he was appointed general manager of the corrugated board division of the Saica Group, with plants in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 2007, he was appointed Executive Vice President of the company and on 1 July 2010 he took over as Chairman of the Saica Group.

In 2023, Saica is celebrating its 80th anniversary. Over 10,000 people are employed at more than 100 Saica factories in Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Great Britain, Ireland, Turkey, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the USA and Poland.
In 2022, the company’s turnover amounted to €4.4bn with 3.3m tons of sold products. In addition to the production of corrugated packaging (Saica Pack), the company has three other business areas: the production of recycled containerboard (Saica Paper), flexible packaging (Saica Flex), waste management and environmental services (Saica Natur).
