This Wednesday, Mayor Francisco Azcué participated in the renewal of the directors representing the companies in the Mixed Administration Entity of the Industrial Park (EMAPI).
José Mendiburu assumed the position of titular director and Facundo Rodríguez as alternate, replacing Rafael Grantón and Ignacio Morel, whose management during these last years was recognized at the event.
“The great challenge we have ahead is for Concordia to be the best city to invest in, and that requires a State that supports the private sector,” stated Azcué, who pointed out that for this purpose, the administration not only created a new Regulation for the Park and an Industrial Promotion ordinance, but is also advancing in the Comprehensive Logistics and Productive Development Plan, which includes the River Port in Benito Legerén, the Logistics Activities Zone, and the expansion of the Industrial Park.
Azcué highlighted that the projection of Concordia in terms of industrial growth is being built on firm steps so that the results are consolidated and allow for the achievement of those objectives “as we have been doing with the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, which was achieved thanks to an efficient management of resources. These are projects that can change the course of the city and our productive matrix.”
For his part, the president of EMAPI, Luis Kolarik, maintained that “the spirit of this act is to highlight the fundamental role of entrepreneurs in the collective development of the park, their ability to generate value, contribute innovative ideas, and create employment at a significant moment for our place, because this year we celebrate 50 years since the enactment of the decree through which the Secretary of Industry and Foreign Trade of the Nation approved the feasibility study in the preliminary project of what is today the Industrial Park of Concordia.”
José Mendiburu, the new director representing the companies, pointed out that the objective is to contribute so that “there is production and work. We industrialists do not ask the State for privileges, only that we be allowed to work,” and in that sense, “I congratulate Mayor Azcué for setting the stage and showing that obstacles are being removed. We want to achieve the same from here because we want the industrial sector to produce, invest, and provide employment; if we do that, Concordia will be great again.”
Finally, the Director of Industry and Industrial Parks of Entre Ríos, Santiago Henderson, highlighted what has been achieved during this time at EMAPI “because it can be seen that there is a foundation, there is planning, and everything the entrepreneur needs to establish themselves and grow, which generates incentives, competitiveness, and attracts companies.”
In closing, Rodolfo Games, president of the Argentine Association of Industrial Parks (APIA), an entity that has 30,000 companies established in the country, y Jorge Alonso, secretary of the Network of Parks of the Argentine Republic and Executive Manager of the Chamber of Industrialists of the Industrial Park of Pilar, one of the largest in Argentina, provided a brief report on the situation of industrial parks throughout the country, also explaining their main current and future challenges.
In that framework, they recognized the development achieved by Concordia, praising the natural, technical, and human resources that the city possesses, and made themselves available to jointly and strategically outline the next steps to follow in the short, medium, and long term.
