The objective is to provide tools that contribute to and promote the proper use of wood.
The Secretary of Productive Development of the Municipality of Concordia, Engineer Federico Schattenhofer, led a meeting with various organizations and institutions represented in our city and the region in order to advance and provide information on different lines of action that contribute to productive growth.
On this occasion, the loan agreement between the Municipality of Concordia and the Foundation for the Forest Industrial Development of Entre Ríos (FUNDEFI), represented by its president Cristina Bonus, was renewed for the use of the existing facilities at the property referred to as the former Fertimaq Plant, with the purpose of developing training courses on the premises, with the objective of providing tools that contribute to and promote the proper use of wood and value-added for all interested citizens.
In addition, work was done on organizing courses with CEDEFI Concordia (Center for Forest Industrial Development) to begin in the month of May with training on board furniture, with the course being taught in three modules throughout the year and aimed at people over 18 years of age interested in the subject.
On the other hand, it was indicated at the meeting that the Training and Service Center of Federación is interested in developing training for the construction of wooden houses, for which the Foundation provided the housing prototype, with said courses scheduled to begin in the month of June.
It was also reported that a few weeks ago there was a visit to our city by provincial authorities and representatives of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, who, together with members of CEDEFI, toured different companies and sawmills in the region. From that meeting, proposals emerged to carry out future training in energy, biomass, and wood.
Other points addressed in the meeting have to do with continuing the call to institutions in the city to generate working groups; the creation of a seal for wood for structural use, as well as joint work with other areas of the Municipality.
In addition to the Secretary of Productive Development, the following were present: Cristina Bonus, from the Faculty of Architecture of the Universidad de Concepción del Uruguay; Javier Barrionuevo, from Training Center No. 2; Lorna Sacks, from the Forestry Area of the Directorate of Agriculture of the Ministry of Economic Development of Entre Ríos; Laura Owczarczyn, from INTI Concordia; Mario Flores Palenzona, from the Directorate of Forest Industrial Development of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Ministry of Economy of the Nation; Alejandra Guido, from the Argentine Forestry Association (AFoA); Ciro Mastrandrea; Matías Martínez from INTA EEA Concordia; and Valeria Peña, Dr. Aníbal Vizzo, and Architect Luis Ríos from the Secretariat of Productive Development.
