Co-investment Program "...Science Network will supply to countries and developing regions the techn= ology and necessary support for production in series of Mini- plants in mobile containers (40-foot). The Mini-plant system is designed in s= uch a way that all the production machinery is fixed on the platform of the c= ontainer, with all wiring, piping, and installation parts; that is, they are = fully equipped... and the mini-plant is ready for production." More than 700 portable production systems: Bakeries, Steel Nails, Welding Ele= ctrodes, Tire Retreading, Reinforcement Bar Bending for Construction Framewor= k, Sheeting for Roofing, Ceilings and Fa=C3=A7ades, Plated Drums, Aluminum Bu= ckets, Injected Polypropylene Housewares, Pressed Melamine Items (Glasses, Cu= ps, Plates, Mugs, etc.), Mufflers, Construction Electrically Welded Mesh, Pla= stic Bags and Packaging, Mobile units of medical assistance, Sanitary Materia= l, Hypodermic Syringes, Hemostatic Clamps, etc.=20 Science Network has started a Co-investment program for the installation of s= mall Assembly plants to manufacture in series the Mini-plants of portable pro= duction on site, region or country where required. One of the most relevant f= eatures is the fact that these plants will be connected to the World Trade Sy= stem (WTS) with access to more than 50 million raw materials, products and se= rvices and automatic transactions for world trade. Due to financial reasons, involving cost and social impact, the best solution= is setting up assembly plants on the same countries and regions, using local= resources (labor, some equipment, etc.) Science Network participates at 50% (fifty percent) for investment of each As= sembly plant. Request more information: Letter= s to the Editor By Robert B. Lethe, Editor Mini-plantas de produccion en contenedores moviles. Programa de Co-inversion "...Science Network suministrara a paises y regiones en vias de desarrollo la= tecnologia y el apoyo necesario para la fabricacion en serie de Mini-plantas= de produccion en contenedores moviles (40-foot). El sistema de Mini-plantas = esta dise=C3=B1ado de forma que todas las maquinas de produccion van instalad= as fijas sobre la propia plataforma del contenedor, con el cableado, tuberias= e instalaciones; es decir, completamente equipadas... y a partir de ese mome= nto est=C3=A1n listas para producir."=20 Mas de 700 sistemas de produccion portatil: Panaderias, Producci=C3=B3n de cl= avos de acero, Electrodos para soldadura, Recauchutado de neumaticos, Curvado= de hierro para armaduras de construccion, Lamina perfilada para cubiertas, t= echos y cerramientos de fachada, Bidones de chapa, Cubos de aluminio, Menaje = de polipropileno inyectado, Piezas de melamina prensada (vasos, platos, tazas= , cafeteras, etc.) Silenciadores para vehiculos, Malla electrosoldada para la= construccion, Bolsas y envases de plastico, Unidades moviles de asistencia m= edica, Material sanitario (jeringas hipodermicas, Pinzas hemostaticas, etc.) Science Network ha puesto en marcha un programa de Co-inversion para la insta= lacion de peque=C3=B1as Plantas ensambladoras para fabricar en serie las Mini= -plantas de produccion portatil, en el lugar, region o pais que lo necesite. = Una de las caracter=C3=ADsticas relevantes es el hecho de que dichas plantas = quedaran conectadas al Sistema del Comercio Mundial (WTS) con acceso a mas de= 50 millones de mercancias, materia primas, productos, servicios y las operac= iones automaticas de comercio internacional. Resulta obvio que por razones economicas, de costes y de impacto social, lo a= propiado es instalar plantas ensambladoras en los mismos paises y regiones as= i como utilizar los recursos locales (mano de obra, ciertos equipamientos, et= c.) Science Network participa al 50% en la inversion de cada Planta ensambladora. Solicitar mas informacion: Lette= rs to the Editor Robert B.
