A more competitive Corporation.
According to Samuel Gleiser, today its Executive President, the secret of success for an industrialist is the constant work and lies in knowing how to take advantage of any crisis situation and turn it into an investment opportunity that improves technology and productivity and expands production capacity . "This means making great sacrifices to reconvert and be ready when the market expands again," explains Don Samuel.
That is why in 2005 an investment of US $ 4 million in new machinery and process improvement was planned, with the aim of expanding the production capacity from 720 thousand closures to 1 million 200 thousand closures per day. "With this capacity we would be ready to meet the demand that came with the signing of the FTAs with the United States, Mercosur and the European Union," says John Gleiser, Executive Director.
At that time no one imagined that in 2007 the Government would enter the dogma of the tariff to make industrialization more efficient; that 2008 the United States would fall in a financial crisis that would expand quickly by all the first world, and that all this would put in risk the future of the cluster
textile and apparel, and that all this would also lead to a decrease in the export of closures.
