The president of the National Association of Furniture and Mattress Manufacturers (Asonaimco), Denny Reynoso criticized the fact that government offices are being furnished with imported furniture. He said that he would like the Fernandez government to follow the example of Joaquin Balaguer and Juan Bosch who he says favored local manufacturers in their procurement orders.
Reynoso singled out for criticism a government official whose specific mission is to promote local industry, but has chosen imported furniture for his own office.
Reynoso says the country has installed capacity to equip government offices. He recalled that in the past all furniture in government had been manufactured here. Reynoso would like to see the government fulfill law that obliges it to procure 15-20% of all its purchases from local manufacturers.
