José Luis López de Silanes, a reference in the industry

López de Silanes started his career in CAMPSA in 1971. After 50 years devoted to the energy industry, for 40 of which he has been linked to the company, acting as its chairman for 16 years, López de Silanes has decided to retire when turning 75, although he will still be linked to Exolum as honorary chairman. During his term of office, Silanes participated in the company’s various modernisation and internationalisation plans and the changes in the shareholding structure and he led CLH’stransformation into today’s Exolum, a leader in bulk liquid logistics and already present in eight countries.

To strengthen the company’s governance and institutional presence, the objective of the new chairwoman
