CEOE Campus, the business school of the Confederación Española de Organizaciones Empresariales (CEOE), and the Asociación Española de Neumáticos Reciclados (AER) have signed a framework collaboration agreement. The objective is to promote training, talent development, and professional qualification within the tyre sector, providing AER member companies with preferential access and advantageous terms for the CEOE Campus educational portfolio.
Formalising Retreading in the Circular Economy
The agreement marks a significant step in strengthening a strategic sector for the circular economy, industrial sustainability, and business competitiveness. Through this alliance, AER members can benefit from exclusive discounts, early access to places, and programmes specifically designed to address the regulatory, technological, organisational, and environmental challenges currently facing the industry.
The collaboration aims to support the tyre sector during a period where adaptation to change, knowledge updates, and continuous training are essential for growth, innovation, and the consolidation of an industrial model aligned with market demands and regulations. The agreement focuses on key areas such as strengthening management and technical skills, promoting sustainability, organisational well-being, and improving business competitiveness.
Fermín Albaladejo Cabada, General Director of CEOE Campus, stated: “We are pleased to collaborate with AER to boost business competitiveness and promote economic growth through our various training programmes.”
Adrián Fernández Monge, Secretary General of AER, noted: “AER views training as a key tool to drive the growth of our member companies and strengthen the sector as a whole. This agreement with the CEOE Campus opens new opportunities to advance in knowledge, talent, and competitiveness.”
A Commitment To The Tyre Value Chain
Beyond direct benefits for members, the agreement is significant for its potential impact on the entire tyre value chain. The sector must reinforce its capacity to handle industrial transformation, sustainability, innovation, digitalisation, talent attraction, and an increasingly demanding regulatory environment.
For AER, this commitment is particularly meaningful, as it represents an industry that is linked to reuse, resource recovery, and the extension of the life of an essential mobility product. The activities of the retreaded and recycled tyre sector generate economic and industrial value while serving as a tangible example of how circularity translates into competitiveness, efficiency, and sustainability.
The ongoing training of professionals and companies within this value chain is essential for consolidating an ecosystem capable of responding to current and future challenges. From production, management, collection, and treatment to reuse, retreading, recycling, and recovery, the sector’s evolution requires prepared professionals, resilient organisations, and a shared vision of continuous improvement.
AER Reinforces Commitment To Member Companies
With this agreement, AER takes a further step in its commitment to generate value for its members, not only through representation and the defence of sectoral interests, but also by providing concrete opportunities for growth and development.
The association reaffirms its role as a leading entity in Spain’s tyre sector, promoting initiatives that help members improve skills, enhance competitiveness, and advance in an industrial context that demands strategic vision, adaptability, and excellence.
This initiative also reinforces AER’s position as an actor committed to a circular, sustainable, and competitive economy, where retreaded and recycled tyres play a prominent role due to their capacity to generate positive economic, industrial, and environmental impacts.
As Europe and Spain move towards responsible and efficient production models, the tyre sector demonstrates that resource reuse, extending product life, and investing in knowledge are essential for a sustainable future.
Training For A Sustainable And Competitive Industry
The agreement between CEOE Campus and AER recognises that training is a strategic lever for business growth and industrial strength. In an industry such as the tyre sector, which is undergoing technical, regulatory, and environmental transformations, quality training tools provide a real competitive advantage. Training improves decision-making, reinforces leadership, incorporates new skills, and allows companies to anticipate changes and move towards innovative business models.
The collaboration highlights a core message for the sector: sustainability depends not only on technology or regulation, but also on people, their training, and the capacity of organisations to evolve. Investing in talent supports a stronger industry that is better prepared to provide solutions for mobility and the efficient use of resources.
