Description
-
Luis Sedano began his career at Cristalería Española, a Saint Gobain subsidiary, after his family relocated to Avilés in search of better opportunities. Initially studying Technical Engineering, he switched to Industrial Mastery and joined the Apprentice School at Cristalería Española at 14. Excelling in his field, Luis represented his company in national competitions, winning the Champion title in Vigo in 1969 and subsequently competing in Japan in 1970. Despite a scoring controversy, he earned a Bronze medal in the International Vocational Training Competition. Luis's achievements in Japan were a source of pride, and he cherished the experience throughout his life. His family retains his medals, competition piece, and related memorabilia. Luis dedicated his entire career to Cristalería Española until retiring in 2008 due to illness, and passed away in 2011, remembered for his craftsmanship and mechanical skills.
