Javier de Antonio new president of Spanish association of service stations

CEEES is a leading association representing the service stations industry in Spain.

The Spanish Confederation of Service Stations (CEEES) has unanimously elected Javier de Antonio Arribas, President of the Federación Castellano Manchega de Estaciones de Servicio (Fecamaes), as its new president.

De Antonio succeeds Jorge de Benito, who has led CEEES since 2016. One of De Antonio’s first actions as president was to propose a statutory amendment to limit the confederation’s presidential term to a maximum of eight years.

Having been a member of the CEEES Executive Committee since July 2022, De Antonio also served as the first vice-president of the confederation since the beginning of 2023.

“It is a great honor that my colleagues, gathered in the General Assembly, have accepted my candidacy to be president of CEEES for the next four years. I will perform my duties with enthusiasm but also with the great responsibility of defending the interests of SMEs in the service station sector,” said Javier de Antonio.

The outgoing president, Jorge de Benito, noted that the service station sector faces many challenges, making the role of industry associations more important than ever.
