Part of the reason for its rapid growth is its strategic advantage of being located near the Panama Canal, which allows it to efficiently serve the entire Americas region. Nearly all world routes pass the Colon Free Zone, located at the Atlantic gateway to the Panama Canal with access to both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. The Colon Free Zone also serves several other important functions. These include collecting donations for community projects in the region and facilitating meetings with diplomats and government officials from around the world.
Prior to taking this new position, Cohen Solis was director of operations at International Hardware in Panama, a wholesaler and distributor of hardware products.
