Achón Industrial expressed its interest in expanding into new markets and agreed to continue receiving guidance from Rediex during subsequent stages.
Achón Industrial SA has been active in Paraguay for over 70 years. Founded in 1954 as a small carpentry workshop, it has grown into a leading manufacturer of furniture and home goods with more than 200 employees and modern manufacturing facilities. The company aims to create environments that offer unique experiences while positioning Paraguay as a competitive supplier in the region.
