On September 5th
at their ordinary session and before the presence of representatives of the
productive sector of Reynosa and the region, the new directive board announced
that they will be guiding COBIFER, council that is integrated by businessmen in

Luis Cantu, current
president of COBIFER, said that it will be important for the new directive to
follow-up the projects that were initiated, as well as starting new ones that
were already planned.
Luis explained that due
to the international lawyers firm he represents and being focused on everything
related with the maquila industry: “I lived the time when many companies
arrived to Reynosa due to the geographic part and this city was known as the
best foreign destination; today, things have changed and our skills have turned
creative and little aggressive and we have been left behind. This encourages us to have this kind of
organism and events where we can have more projection. This region continues having the geographic
advantages that other places do not have, we only need a little more union
among the different sectors – private as well as public – and organisms.”
He underlined the
interest in achieving COBIFER to grow in members, events and in help for coordination
and growth.
