Process

One of the things that puts Vicinay Cadenas in its
own class is that it has its own engineering team
which has a wealth of know-how regarding the
production process.
The availability of this process allows Vicinay
to stay ahead of other competitors because we
have at our disposal all the means to continuously
innovate independently of others.
