On September 23, 2026, the city of Valencia bid farewell to a central figure in its business scene: Francisco Ros García. His death, confirmed by sources in the economic field, left a deep void in the industrial and associative fabric of the Valencian Community. Ros García was a delegate of the Ros Casares steel group, a company with a fundamental role in the ferro sector in the region, and his disappearance represents a turning point for an environment that depended on his leadership and experience in mediating between the private sector and public institutions.
His professional career was distinguished by his commitment to business development and training. He chaired the Association for the Advancement of Management, an entity focused on promoting professional growth and innovation in the management field. In addition, he held key positions in representative bodies such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Valencian Association of Entrepreneurs, where his influence translated into a constant effort to strengthen dialogue between the industry and administrations, becoming a reference of stability and collaboration in the local economic ecosystem.
The Ros Casares group, founded by its father, has been in bankruptcy proceedings for more than a decade, a situation that has seriously affected its investment capacity and has generated uncertainty among suppliers and customers. Although the group maintains a consolidated customer base, the prolonged crisis has limited its dynamism and has made it difficult to make strategic decisions. The death of Ros García could aggravate the internal tensions of the group, accelerating the need to seek solutions, either through a deep restructuring or the sale of assets, to try to recover the viability of the business.
The disappearance of such an influential figure marks the end of an era in the Valencian steel industry. His legacy transcends the business world, as he left a mark on the promotion of responsible leadership and the building of bridges between industry and institutions. The future of the group and the sector will now depend on new leaderships capable of taking on the economic and competitiveness challenges that remain pending, inheriting not only the business structure, but also the commitment to the sustainable development of the Valencian industrial fabric.
