<p>Attending the opening was Minister of
Industry, Commerce, Agricuture and Fisheries, Audley Shaw. He lauded the
company for opening a new centre that would provide jobs for many Jamaicans. He

the industry.</p>

<p>Dechant, in his remarks, said: “We
are bullish on Jamaica for three reasons. The first is the talent of the people
which is exceptional, and it holds itself toe-to-toe with the talent on a
global basis; secondly, the support of the Government; and thirdly, the
proximity to the United States. Put these things together and you have a recipe
for success and repeated success.” </p>
