Through his company, Técnicas Reunidas, José Lladó promoted the modernization of Spain, especially in the field of energy infrastructure. The company played a fundamental role in the design of most of the country's nuclear power plants and became a reference in the construction of combined cycle power plants. José Lladó was a tireless worker, dedicating his life to serving Spanish society. He was a great support in the creation of the Chamber of Spain, embodying the business values that the institution defends. His exemplary leadership and ability to adapt to changes allowed him to transform his company and carry out a successful internationalization process that placed the brand Spain at unprecedented levels of excellence. His entrepreneurial vision and commitment to society were evident in all the projects he participated in. Thanks to him, Spain became a more modern and open country. José Lladó leaves an indelible legacy, and his contribution to the progress of Spain will be remembered and valued by future generations.
