Alfareria Dominicana

Alfareria Dominicana SA is located close to Santa Domingo, capital city of the Dominican Republic, and manufactures a wide range of heavy clay products, including bricks, blocks, floor wall and roof tiles. It is a family owned business and has been operating for approximately seventy years.

However, high losses and diminishing production figures put the long term viability of the company at risk.

As a result of an application to Centre for Industrial Development (CDI) Brussels, the company was granted technical aid with the objective of improving its production capacity, together with overall quality and performance, in order to strengthen its place in both the local and export markets. Currently three missions to the factory have been completed with further assistance under consideration for the near future.

As may be noted in the following text and illustrations, much work has been carried out, with positive results that have now placed the company on a firm foundation for future development.
