From this strategic location we can use the infrastructure to optimize logistics operations allowing for efficient distribution. Efficiency in transfer processes translates into significant savings in operating costs. This allows us to reinvest in other strategic areas of the company, improving our competitiveness in the market.
The choice of Guatemala for our investment for nearshoring was based on a number of factors, but most importantly our company view the collaboration and the welcoming we received from the government and the local industry. Guatemala has impressed me in a number of ways, the most important the warmth, sincerity and genuity of the people.
We were looking for a place in the world to obtain the quantity and quality of sugar cane bagasse for our regenerative packaging to leave a cleaner planet. Central and South America were options because of the availability of this raw material, but since I landed in Guatemala it felt like this would be the place to go.
Guatemala is a super strategic place in Latin America, not only because of its extraordinary geographic location, but also because of the quality of its people.
The commitment, the energy, the passion, the engagement that our guatemalan team demonstrate everyday is infectuous and our customers love working with our local team members. When you have that kind of raw material enveloped by a business and political climate that is supportive and welcoming to investment its a very powerful recipe for success.
Guatemala is a country in which the Guatemalan business community continues to believe and invest; it is a country in which democratic transitions take place in an organized manner; it is a country whose economy is managed responsibly; there is political and macroeconomic stability; and institutions that are not perfect but are improving, because businessmen and the government work together with a long-term goal.
Guatemala is the strategic place to reach markets in Latin America, as well as
its own market provides access to the most significant percentage of the entire region.
“GUATEMALA IS A STRATEGIC DECISION"
Guatemala offers the most important institutional market in Central America for more than 700 million dollars , in addition to having the best organized commercial pharmacy cluster in the region. “GUATEMALA IS PROFITABLE”
