Rebuilding of Chile still in planning stages

Here are some companies to keep an eye on who will be hiring should they contract for business with Chile. That country, like Haiti, is still just in the planning stages of the huge rebuilding work and tens of thousands of jobs will be created in Chile and here in the U.S. as manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers hire up to handle the workload.

The participation of such well-known and respected U.S. companies is a clear indication of the importance of this trade event and highlights the potential investment opportunities for American companies.

According to Pete Curcio, Manager for Mexico and Latin America, Andersen Windows, “Chile needs new windows and doors and we are capable of producing over 6 million doors and windows a year”.

During the Exposition and particularly the conference program, Curcio is optimistic that he will be able to establish not only interim business relationships with local suppliers and government agencies, but will be able to forge long-term business relationships as the reconstruction plan continues to unfold.

According to conference planners, "The two-day conference program will give attendees the opportunity to meet and interact with key government officials and private sector individuals responsible for carrying out President Piñera’s reconstruction plan”.

The conference at Rebuild Chile Expo will cover topics such as the roles of both the U.S. Department of Commerce and Chilean Government in the Rebuild Process; Rebuilding the Infrastructure; Regional Focus: Current Situation and Identified Priorities; Housing, Public Works and Infrastructure – Building Codes and Other Challenges.

The Rebuild Chile Expo Received Support from the Office of the Chilean President, U.S. Commerce Department, the Chilean AmCham, and United States Embassy.
