In an exclusive interview with Negocios Now, Juventino Cano said that the decision to “work with IP is a great strategy that will position Cano Container for national level growth.”

 The founder of Cano Container affirmed that the new partnership will allow for better service to clients.
 According to Cano, “The fact of having a big brother will also allow us to win new clients, because we will be capable of producing nationally. In addition, there are advantages in regards to financial risk and the cost to our company, given that they will absorb the total cost.”
“I have more to win than does IP, we will be trying to strengthen this relationship to the maximum in the years to come. Personally, our objective is to grow with IP. They are big, they’re in China, South America, they have companies all over the world. My opportunity will be national.”
