“Establishing a local presence in Panama at this time fits into our growth strategy,” said Tony Gonzalez, TGI’s CEO. “Panama is a country that is experiencing a construction boom in addition to the current Panama Canal expansion project. This makes Panama a country where TGI wants to be involved. There is also the future opportunity of opening a distribution center in the free zone area, this can only further enhance TGI’s distribution capabilities in the region.” (Tire Review/Akron)
