More about Juan Antonio
More than 20 years of experience in the agricultural sector, specialized in polyethylene covers and their different applications worldwide.
As Product Manager of Armando Alvarez Group I have had the opportunity to know and evaluate real problems of agricultural producers who need solutions to make their crops more productive, harvest off-season to make their business more profitable and fight against the inclemencies of nature to protect their crops. This has taken me to more than 50 countries like France, Mexico, Turkey, among others where we have successfully implemented the different plastic cover solutions we have in the market.
The possibility of visiting different crops in various geographical areas has allowed me to design best practices and case studies that also allow us to improve the manufacture of our products to adapt to customer needs and transfer this knowledge to other producers who face similar difficulties in their crops.
