Economy deputy Director Francisco Otaño told ACN his company’s profits for 2010 will exceed 15 million dollars thanks to the inclusion of new lines in its export portfolio.

Last March we exported glass for the first time, mainly to the Central American market and recommenced the marketing of plastic containers, Otaño said.

He said Desequip had earnings in this period of 4 million, on which fluctuations in commodity prices in the stock market had a positive influence.

The trading unit of non-ferrous scrap (copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, etc. processed from January to April 7 600 tons of raw materials, he said.

Luis Morales, deputy director of operations, referred to the advanced technology of the company, which decreased the time of packing, loading and transportation of goods to the port.
