Manuel Matosantos, spoke on how his third generation family company Matosantos Commercial is meeting economic challenges in its manufacturing and distribution operations. Through its Vega Baja facilities, Matosantos has global sales worldwide, including China. It handles a wide variety of products from disposable plastic items to fruit and vegetable distribution with such strategic partners as Wal-Mart. The company is also involved in wastewater reuse, bio-gas, and solar products-- a win/win for Puerto Rico's economy and environment. Thanks to President Jorge for bringing us this interesting speaker-- who also happens to be his brother-in-law.
