At noon this Monday, the Governor of the Province, Rogelio Frigerio, together with the mayor of Concordia, Francisco Azcué, visited the Egger plant, a world leader in the manufacturing of wood-based materials, which in Argentina has its headquarters in the Industrial Park of our city.
On Industry Day, Frigerio and Azcué were accompanied by the Minister of Productive Development, Guillermo Bernaudo; the Secretary of Government, Luciano Dell'Olio; the Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer; and the President of the Industrial Park, Luis Kolarik. On behalf of the company, they were received by its president, Agustín Fitte, and executives Andreas Hoffman, Francisco Estruga, and Dolores Ingouville.
When reporting on the importance of this industry in the Entre Ríos economy, Minister Guillermo Bernaudo highlighted that "the governor's mandate is to generate more private employment. That is why we cannot fail to reach out and visit one of the main employers in the province, which is Egger." "The focus is on lowering logistics costs, so there are ideas in the pipeline, being worked on, because Entre Ríos needs to be a logistics hub for the north of our province and the south of Corrientes," he maintained.
Likewise, regarding the role of the Entre Ríos State, the official maintained: "Our responsibility is to prepare the ground so that companies like this one can produce better, with lower costs. These are international companies that invest here, provide work for our people, and use our wood production to convert it into high-value products, both for the domestic market and for export."
For his part, Agustín Fitte referred to the visit and said that "it is an honor," noting that at the company "every day we dedicate ourselves to seeing how we can make the region grow, train people, and make our communities grow. It is also very important to be able to unite the private sector with the public sector for this growth, and that was what was discussed on such an important day."
Finally, he commented that they discussed with the governor the need to "streamline logistics," given that they have a continuous production process and "what is happening to us is that with such an extensive country, we need to be able to improve our logistics. We compete against the entire region, we compete against Chile, Brazil, the port of Montevideo, and we need to reach the exit ports, such as Buenos Aires and Zárate, from Concordia in the most optimal way," he pointed out.
The mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted the approach of the municipal administration to support the private sector for the productive development and growth of the city. “EGGER is a company that contributes a lot to the city in the generation of formal jobs, sustainable growth, and environmental care,” he highlighted.
