The company selected Asuncion, Paraguay for its fourth ACCC® Conductor Core manufacturing facility to support a substantial increase in demand for ACCC® Conductor in Latin America and support its local and regional customers. Being a centrally located member of Mercosur, the fourth largest trading block in the world, Paraguay is a great place to manufacture and ship to customers located throughout the region.

Mr. J.D. Sitton, CEO, CTC Global, stated, “Paraguay has a visionary government that is committed to a progressive industrialisation program. Many leading companies have located state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities here and CTC is pleased to join them. The Paraguayan workforce is highly educated and very capable and the CSA team has quickly become a valued part of the larger CTC team.”

Mr. Christian Lichtenberg, CSA General Manager, commented, “Constructing this facility, building the CSA team and accomplishing the rigorous ACCC® Certification has been extremely satisfying. I am proud of the entire team and we are looking forward to continuing to grow CSA as Paraguay, and the Mercosur countries grow.”
