Robert had just completed a two-year assignment on Autoroute&nbsp;30, after working on Dubai&rsquo;s elevated metro. Pierre Colangelo supervised the purchase and delivery of equipment. Gabriel Bonin contributed his two cents&rsquo; worth, developing the budgets and the plant layout. Suzanne Larivi&egrave;re, Mark Clarke and Anne Charest supervised the legal and banking aspects of the project.&nbsp; Dave Panesar spontaneously agreed to send a complete cutting line (Don&rsquo;t worry, Dave: it will soon be replaced in Kitchener!) and Eric St-Amant also gave up some equipment so that production could start up quickly. S&eacute;bastien Lamoureux was in charge of setting up the new facility&rsquo;s IT needs. Claudio Rebolledo, Eng., Technician-Project Manager in Longueuil, travelled to Costa Rica to train local technicians.&nbsp; Everyone did their part to ensure the success of this latest addition to the AGF family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We thank you all, and long live AGF Costa Rica Corp S.A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past July, the first tonne of steel was manufactured at our plant in San [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":42139,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[217,223],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-interest","category-international-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42144"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55661,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42144\/revisions\/55661"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
