However the island is heavily dependent on imports throughout the economy and needs investment at all levels. A recent law seeks to promote growth in the local market by encouraging the in-flow of foreign capital and the government is aware that internationalization will also mean greater internal demand and higher consumption. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has already detected greater dynamism in the construction sector mostly related to private operations (+ 19.7%). Cuba could become the benchmark for the entire Caribbean area. Cuba is starting to open up to modernization and development in its economical and industrial system and this process also includes the glass sector. A great deal of machinery and technology is obsolete and requires complete renovation or even total replacement. According to IMF estimates the island has incredible potential: it is now moving towards new investments involving foreign capital and will soon start producing goods locally. CUBA GLASS is the first international event that offers the opportunity to meet the very people who need to renew and modernize as well as those who want to invest in the island. Glass is certain to be at the forefront of Cuba’s development – just think how many square meters of glass will go into modernizing and expanding tourist facilities shops and offices private and public housing. Moreover according to a recent survey pharmaceuticals and the supply chain for alcoholic and soft drinks are amongst the most promising sectors.

Operation is fully automatic and running costs very small. The system keeps the particles in suspension. This characteristic together with an appropriate design of the collection and distribution of the water in which VITROSEP can help makes not necessary cleaning and manual removal of glass fines in the grinding machines GPD CUBA 6th December 2016 Trends in new technology and design The Glass Performance Days (GPD) is an independent forum dedicated to the development of the global glass industry through education.
