The Ramón Peña Industrial Company participated in the recently concluded Fair Cubaindustria 2024 with innovative projects with the aim of diversifying its services and, at the same time, providing a financial injection with a view to sustainability of their productions.

In an exclusive interview with CubaPLUS magazine, the director of the entity, Yosvany Fuentes Rodríguez, said this edition of the fair has been of great importance for his entity because it allowed it to publicize its productions and the services they offer to the national industry, as well as to possible links with non-state forms of management of the country and to potential foreign clients with a view to export.

For example, he added, we can provide technical services and we are exhibiting the concrete mixers with the aim of locating them in Bolivia and we are also working in that sense to open up in the Caribbean.

Regarding new projects, he mentioned that they carry out with a Micro, non-state small and medium enterprise (MSME) a project for the benefit of coal, to which they will supply all the technological services. Later he mentioned a project with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment of the country (CITMA) to take advantage of sawdust waste with a view to manufacture ovens, financed by a Spanish company that should begin execution in the second half of this year.

Also, he continued, we have a plan for the development of a cold asphalt line. “We have designed a complete cold asphalt plant, which is already approved and we are linking it with an MSME from the Antillean company of Steel, to take advantage of all the waste that comes out of the foundry and use it in the production of construction materials and to pave roads, city streets,” he explained.

Finally, he referred to the program they develop with the agricultural sector in the manufacturing of different types of mills for the production of biofertilizers and he mentioned the plant that is located in the town of Cotorro, in the south of Havana and a coconut-shell shredding mill to obtain substrates intended for hydroponic crops that are in the testing stage with the Bacuranao company.

All of these projects, the executive finally said, are new productions whose objective is to diversify our services to satisfy the requirements of our clients and, above all, achieve financial sustainability that the company needs.
