As
Chairman of the Board of the Engel group of companies, I am
very satisfied with what we have achieved over the years. The
growth and stability of the Chilean economy has allowed us to
progress in sales and profits. This would not have been possible
without the loyalty and hard work of our personnel and the confidence
of our customers and principals. Our success is linked with
that of our business partners. Nowadays, when looking at the
world from a global perspective, one can see a great future
for our country and the South American region. We hope to continue
boosting growth through innovation and anticipating our customers
needs, and at the same time, being constructive citizens, protecting
the environment, so as to make this world a safer and more pleasant
place for our families. I urge the staff to continue with renewed
energy in this permanent challenge in which they have been very
successful, promoting the benefits of our corporate culture
with high ethical standards and professionalism.
