Industrias SPI Venezuela Celebrates its 2nd anniversary with big gains. December 6, 2013

Solid Products Inc.’s Venezuelan manufacturing partner Industrias SPI Venezuela enjoyed significant growth during its second full year of manufacturing. “In spite of the difficult political and economic environment here our year over year growth in sales of over 30% was no less than incredible” said Industrias plant manager Luis Sanabria.  “In two short years we have become the industry standard in finishing compound.  Even with the unknown future economic conditions here the beginning of exportation should allow us to continue our growth.”

Although the production at the plant remains full out Industrias SPI Venezuelan partners and management found time to celebrate the second anniversary in style.  A two day yachting trip to Venezuela’s treasure destination Los Roques with its sensational blue water and unmatched white sand beaches was the perfect site for the party.

Solid Products, Inc. president Gregory Frings was on hand to help with the celebration which included a fresh lobster extravaganza.  “I am extremely proud of our team here.  The quality of the products we continue to produce here is a result of their attention to detail.  Those efforts have resulted in growth we honestly weren’t expecting given the situation.  I am very happy to be where we are in such a short time,” said Frings.
