First MCR factory in Aruba

Two young construction engineering students will settle the first MCR factory in Aruba, a Dutch colony in the Caribbean, 20 miles off the Venezuela coast. They spent one week in Nicaragua at the EcoMaterials enterprise for the technology transfer required to operate the MCR production unit. Training went through all the production facts, from how to assemble the equipment to roofing practices. The students practical experience in construction will guarantee the quality of the work and the roofing. Their engineering studies at the Costa Rican Institute of Technology will help ensure that the quality control processes will be strictly adhered to in the finished product. The MCR factory in Aruba is to begin production in April.
