China’s Rainbow Chemical says it will build a new plant and distribution center in Panama. Construction will start in September and be completed by April 2015.
新的最先进的设施将作为生产新特种和创新配方产品并将其分销到拉丁美洲市场的平台。
“Demand from farmers for our products is increasing strongly in the whole region, especially in the Central American and South American markets. We identified a potential opportunity to expand our supply chain platform by choosing a strategic production location that can satisfy a faster response of our products to all markets in the region, helping to accelerate our innovation capabilities for this region simultaneously,” Director General for Central America and the Caribbean Michael Groos said.
据Rainbow Chemical称，该工厂将设有一个国际研发中心和一个高科技实验室，将为拉丁美洲地区研究和开发创新农业解决方案。
“We think that our R&D team needs to be closer to such important markets, to experience and understand the current problems farmers are facing so that we can truly achieve and accelerate market-driven innovation,” CEO Wicky Wang said.
该项目将使 Rainbow 能够提高其供应链能力，实现更高效的分销运营，并能够更快地响应所有拉丁美洲市场。
“We chose Panama because of its excellent logistic location, attractive investment and work environment. This is one of the many projects that Rainbow plans worldwide and that can add value to our partners”, Wang said.
