Despite of being hit by the economic, commercial and financial US blockade against Cuba for more than 60 years, affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and blocking of the delay of some materials, THABA fulfilled its first quarter plan.

THABA´s corporate purpose is to commercialize leather products, whether manufactured or purchased. It is also aimed at manufacturing and selling latex goods, its by-products and other polymers.

María Eugenia Martínez, Communications director, told Negocios en Cuba magazine that coronavirus-related products and personal protection fittings are THABA´s top-priority.

In addition to those products included in its portfolio and to the coronavirus-related ones, THABA has proposed to manufacture wallets and purses by using different materials such as transparent plastic and canvas.

During the interview with Martínez, it was learned that THABA is currently applying science and technology in its production processes, and has reached agreements with the Universities of Pinar del Río, Havana, Cienfuegos and Las Tunas.
