President Leonel Fernandez was presented with the Association of Herrera Industries (AEIH) "Promoter of National Industry" award at a ceremony held yesterday.
George Arzeno Brugal received the "Industrialist of the Year" award, and the Cerveceria Nacional Dominicana (Presidente beer brewery) was honored for making the "Best Use of New Technology." This was the AEIH's 11th awards ceremony.
Bartolome Gamundi Cestero received the award for "Industrialist with the Most Outstanding Performance Abroad," and Falconbridge Dominicana was named "Exporter of the Year." Antonio Najri was also honored for his business track record.
Upon receiving the award from AIRD president Jesus Moreno, President Fernandez stressed the need for a strategic alliance between the state and productive sectors. He said that if he is re-elected he would propose that an industrial guarantee for Dominican industries will be included in the next budget. He expressed his belief that local companies could renovate their machinery and equipment to incorporate new technologies, and that this equipment could be imported duty free.
