MESSAGE FROM THE<br />
Chief Executive Officer<br />
The Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association<br />
celebrated its 60th year of success in <strong>2016</strong>. With an ever<br />
increasing membership, the <strong>TTMA</strong> continues to be the lobbying voice for<br />
the Manufacturing Sector. The main objective of the Association is to create<br />
an enabling environment for our members to facilitate trade, expansion and<br />
sustainability.<br />
The Manufacturing sector of Trinidad and Tobago is creating great strides<br />
in rivaling the energy sector as a proven model for diversification of the<br />
economy. The <strong>TTMA</strong> secretariat continues to liaise with the manufacturing<br />
community, as well as key stakeholders, with the aim of working together to<br />
ensure relevant frameworks are in place to enhance business prosperity. The<br />
Association is cognizant of the integral role strategic partnerships with key<br />
government agencies and regulators play in this transformation process.<br />
The <strong>TTMA</strong> continues to create avenues for trade and investment for our<br />
local manufacturers. Trinidad and Tobago has trade agreements with<br />
numerous Latin American countries, namely Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba,<br />
Dominican Republic, Panama and Venezuela. Trade agreements with El<br />
Salvador and Guatemala may be ratified shortly, and the possibility exists<br />
for an agreement with Chile.<br />
