2020 Success Story: Lanco Expands Its Footprint
Dedicated to the production and distribution of high-quality construction products, Lanco Manufacturing, Corp. recently announced its aggressive expansion into the South American market with the construction of a manufacturing plant for paints, adhesives, sealants, and related products in Santiago, Chile.
The new factory, which is already under construction with a production/distribution area of approximately 250,000 square feet, will transform Lanco’s efforts and presence in South America. The multinational Puerto Rican company’s slogan is “don’t stop.” The Chilean factory is also joined by a sister factory in the Caribbean, located in Kingston, Jamaica, which will open at the end of 2021, and serve the local market, as well as all of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). By 2022, Lanco plans to begin the construction of a manufacturing plant in Guatemala as well.
“Lanco’s mission has always been one of complete customer satisfaction, focused on manufacturing only high-quality products, at the best price in the market,” said Francisco M. Viejo López, executive vice president of Lanco Manufacturing, Corp. “We currently have an extensive range of products that exceeds 2,000 SKUs (products), and are distinguished as an innovative company that works tirelessly and does not conform.” He added that because Lanco always seeks to have a close relationship with all its clients and employees, a large part of the company’s success is due to this.
Regarding the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Viejo López sees these as times of great uncertainty and hard work, but with many opportunities for improvement, development, and growth. “First of all, ensuring the safety and well-being of our customers, we have developed new tools that facilitate, among other things, the selection of colors and the purchase of our products. In our Color Expression by Lanco application, you can find a complete color palette, with thousands of options to choose from, which also allows you to upload an image of the space to be painted, and illustrates how the chosen colors will look, providing a benefit to customers when choosing their paint and color of preference,” he said.
“It also provides a color identifier for existing colors and the opportunity to calculate the amount of paint needed for the space to be decorated and/or painted.” Through its website, which has also been improved and updated, customers can view the range of Lanco products, including their benefits and attributes.
