On February 20, Puerto Rico’s Central-East region became the meeting point for the first Business Connect of 2026, a high-impact event organized by PRMSDC and hosted by Gascó Industrial.

The event opened with welcoming remarks from PRMSDC President Francisco Cabrera, who emphasized the importance of these spaces in strengthening the development and competitiveness of certified businesses. The gathering brought together Council-certified suppliers and distinguished guests in an environment designed to foster strategic collaboration and meaningful networking.

We extend a special thank you to Joumeilyn Mena, Sales and Marketing Supervisor at Gascó Industrial, for her leadership and commitment in coordinating the event. Representing company President Dan Bigman, and in conversation with Reina Reyes, Senior Director of Corporate Services at PRMSDC, Mena shared the company’s journey, its beginnings, and the evolution of its services. Gascó Industrial, a Puerto Rican family-owned company, has positioned itself as a leader in delivering high-quality industrial and institutional cleaning solutions. Today, the company stands out for its expertise in specialized manufacturing and products serving both the industrial and food sectors.

Throughout the event, participants presented their capabilities, exchanged ideas, and strengthened business relationships that will undoubtedly contribute to the continued growth of Puerto Rico’s business ecosystem. We also recognize the participation of Alicia Pérez from Amgen and Mario García from JLL, who highlighted the importance of MBE certification as a strategic tool for business development. We also thank CIS International, Epsilon, Mirus, RF Maintenance, and Star Electrical Services for contributing to a successful and enriching experience.
