Parque Industrial Duarte: Outstanding Industrial Park Caribbean 2024

Parque Industrial Duarte stands as a testament to the foresight and innovation driving industrial growth in the Caribbean. Established in the 1990s by its founder who envisaged a dedicated industrial community free from the encroachment of residential developments, it has since blossomed into the largest industrial district in the Dominican Republic. With a sprawling 3.5 million square metres strategically located for optimal access to the US, Central America, and South America, the park plays a pivotal role in the region’s economic landscape. It supports a diverse range of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and logistics, which have flourished, particularly during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The park’s catchy slogan, “Present Value for Your Industrial Future,” highlights its focus on enduring impact and client success. The park’s wholehearted commitment to sustainability is exemplified by its ongoing transition to an eco-industrial zone in collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). This initiative aims to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship, ensuring that all stakeholders benefit equitably. The introduction of rental spaces has further diversified its offerings, attracting new clients who prefer leasing over purchasing. Parque Industrial Duarte also focuses on community engagement, reflecting its commitment to social responsibility. As it expands its footprint, including the development of a logistics park in Punta Cana, it remains a beacon of industrial progress and sustainable development. The CFI.co Judging Panel congratulates Parque Industrial Duarte on winning the 2024 award for Outstanding Industrial Park (Caribbean).
