President Leonel Fernandez attended the inauguration of the US$20 million Gatorade bottling factory yesterday. The plant, which has a capacity for filling 500,000 bottles a day will supply the DR, Puerto Rico and other Caribbean markets. It is a strategic alliance between PepsiCo and Distribuidora Corripio. Manuel Corripio, speaking at the event, said the investment follows the country's economic growth, which he attributed to the Fernandez administration that he said has driven the DR to be "one of the most peaceful nations in Latin America and the Caribbean."

Corripio stressed that the free trade agreements with the Caribbean open the doors for the products to be exported to the rest of the region.
