At the meeting, Stephanus thanked the previous administration and said: “The main objective of our entity is to promote the development of Argentine foreign trade, especially SME exports with added value through the promotion of industrial production and the substitution of imports of capital goods, an essential basis for strengthening the export capacity of Argentine SMEs.”
"This is the commitment we have made since our founding and which all members of the Board of Directors renew today," the director stressed.
Board of Directors
Stephanus will be accompanied on the board of directors by Luis Duarte as vice president. Patricia Ballester will serve as secretary and Natalia Pereira as deputy secretary. Juan Carlos Pereyra and Ezequiel Grosso will serve as treasurer and deputy treasurer, respectively.
The regular members are Horacio Consolo, Daniel Solda, Gabriela Hermosid, Carolina Pereyra and Santiago Solda.

AIERA was founded in 1966 as a business association made up of small and medium-sized national companies, as well as regional and sectoral chambers. The companies that make up the institution are nationally owned and carry out activities related to imports and/or exports.
Representing the most varied sectors and considering producers and service providers in foreign trade, AIERA is a member of the Board of Directors of the Argentine Agency for Investment and International Trade (formerly Fundación Export.Ar). It is also part of the Customs Advisory Council and the Economic and Social Advisory Forum of MERCOSUR – FCES. Additionally, it maintains a series of reciprocal cooperation agreements with similar institutions from the rest of the world.
Aduana News is the first Argentine customs newspaper to launch its digital version. With 20 years of experience, its publications and initiatives aim to provide the most relevant knowledge on customs issues in order to contribute to safe trade in the region.
