Evacuation Drill

2011-08-29T13:26:00.000-06:00

On Thursday, July 25 took place on evacuation drill on all Plants, this drill is not communicated to staff, only the existing brigades, was an interesting experience because workers heard the alarm and some thought that something had happened, others did not want to leave the floor because he had not been warned.

Plant managers, Human Resources and Health and Safety, explained to staff that earthquakes and disasters in general do not warn, for this reason they have to hear the alarm to evacuate the plant.

We applaud the work of the Brigades of each plant, for this activity!

Buscan jalar inversiones

Gisella Canales Ewest

Por primera vez Nicaragua participa en la feria internacional Magic, que esta semana tiene lugar en Las Vegas, Nevada, en el marco de una alianza público-privada para atraer capitales para el sector textil y de la confección.

Dean García, director ejecutivo de la Asociación Nicaragüense de la Industria Textil y de Confección (Anitec), destaca que empresas afiliadas a esa organización habían participado individualmente en eventos similares en el pasado, pero ahora se busca que la presencia en ferias internacionales sea una estrategia de país.

Una de las apuesta es lograr que se instalen en el país empresas que fabriquen botones, bandas elásticas y otros insumos que puedan abastecer a las empresas que actualmente operan.

Javier Chamorro, director ejecutivo de la agencia de promoción de inversiones ProNicaragua, subrayó las ventajas competitivas que tiene el país frente a otras naciones de Centroamérica y Asia.

Por ejemplo, Nicaragua tiene el menor costo laboral promedio por hora del istmo, equivalente a 1.05 dólares. En El Salvador es de 1.45 dólares y en Honduras de 1.68 dólares.
