Install a new factory to manufacture a system of asbestos-free fiber-cement panels for the basic aim of replacing the country’s imports of cement agglomerate panels.

The wide-reaching capital investment program planned in Cuba for the coming years obliges us to use construction materials that increase construction productivity, shorten execution time and contribute to the efficiency of the construction process. Cuban industry finds itself forced to improve its productive capacities, modernize the technological equipment it has at present, and thereby meet domestic demands and decrease the number of imports carried out these days. Taking into account that the manufacturing of fiber-cement panels signifies broad, versatile usage in construction, the basic market will concentrate on tourism works, health programs, building homes, jobs involved in the golf course program, etc., as well as exporting. 

We insert this project into a global trend to manufacture intelligent, ecological, light, flexible and modular materials that can be used quickly with ease and for every kind of job. The use of technologies such as those involved with fiber-cement will therefore prevail since they are based on cement and organic/inorganic fibers thereby providing us with materials completely resistant to wetness, fungi, pests, blows: they are also non-combustible. This is the most complete type of technology for light construction jobs.

Replacing the light building panels presently imported by the country, contributing to the increase of production in the construction industry, and saving energy during the exploitation of this investment.
