TOGETHER WE EVOLVE<br />

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC<br />

FAGOR INDUSTRIAL<br />

EQUIPS THE<br />

BRAZILIAN ARMY<br />

BASE IN HAITI<br />

Fagor Industrial’s branch in the Dominican<br />

Republic has signed a contract to fit out the<br />

kitchens at the Brazilian Army camp in Haiti<br />

as part of the United Nations Stabilisation<br />

Mission (MINUSTAH). The Mission, set up by<br />

the UN Security Council in 2004, was created<br />

with the aim of ensuring a safe, stable<br />

environment for developing the political process<br />

and strengthening the country’s Government<br />

institutions.<br />

The devastating earthquake that struck Haiti<br />

on 12 January 2010 led to the UN increasing<br />

the MINUSTAH force in order to support reconstruction<br />

work. On arriving in Haiti and<br />

on discovering that they would be staying in<br />

the country much longer than originally expected,<br />

the Brazilian army forces looked for<br />

a supplier to improve their kitchen facilities.<br />

A tender was launched and the supply was<br />

allocated to Fagor Industrial, who had bid<br />

against several American competitors. The<br />

equipment provided consisted of 4 cooking<br />

units, 2 tilting bratt pans, 3 cookers, 4 frytops,<br />

a dishwasher and a VPE-202 oven.<br />

The contract was signed in November, and<br />

the equipment arrived in Santo Domingo in<br />

early January, to be later sent on to Haiti.<br />
