Cuba’s industrial zone closes 2020 with seven new businesses

This is the case of Devox Caribe and Tot Color, dedicated to the manufacture of paints; Arhtis Industries, for the production of diapers, and Resa Caribe, in the logistics sector.

In addition, this year the companies Mariel Solar Energy, which operates solar parks for electricity generation; Nescor, as a food producer, and Brascuba, in charge of cigarettes, were set up in the ZEDM.

These companies market their products within the national territory and in the future could expand to export, said the leading manager.

She also added that in the past months, despite the complex health situation, the territorial and urban planning of the 465.4 square kilometers of the Zone went on, allowing for a better use of the space for the insertion of new businesses.

In total, there are 55 projects approved to be installed in the ZEDM, eight of them with Cuban capital, 30 with 100 percent foreign investment, 15 are mixed ventures and two are international economic associations.

Of the total number of initiatives, 31 are in operation and they generate 8,560 direct jobs, informed Igarza in her presentation before representatives of 93 countries participating in the Business Forum Cuba 2020, event that is closing on Wednesday.

At the opening of the event, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment, Rodrigo Malmierca, presented the new Portfolio of Opportunities for doing business on the island with foreign capital, and of them there are 44 possible projects in the ZEDM. (Prensa Latina)
