Valencia, October 6, 2025.— Feria Valencia and the entire Hygienalia team mourn the recent passing of Josep Pinent Isart, one of the founders of SUCITESA and the first president of the Hygienalia trade fair.
A key figure in the development of the professional hygiene sector in Spain, Josep Pinent Isart stood out for his vision, his demanding nature, and his unwavering commitment to excellence. His leadership decisively contributed to the growth of his company and the strengthening of ASFEL, an association to which he poured his effort and dedication to consolidate and enhance the industry’s prestige. A firm believer in industry unity, he promoted and helped consolidate Hygienalia as the common space for the entire sector.
Beyond his professional career, those who had the privilege of working alongside him remember him as a person who was approachable, generous, and always willing to support and listen. His legacy will live on in all of us who are part of this great industry family.
