86 87 Some years back, Caribbean Cable exported some of its prod- ucts, but today, it sells almost exclusively to the local market. “What happened over time is that because of the demand for our product, here in Jamaica, we find that we’re not able to completely fill the local demand, and hence, don’t have enough for the export market,” Thomas explains. He adds that the company also must compete with firms in Trinidad, as well as wire that comes into the country from China. Thus, one of the company’s ma- jor goals is to increase its mar- ket share. “Sometimes you have some bad years, and right now, we’re not exactly where we’d love to be,” says Thomas, ruefully. “But under our new Managing Director, we’re looking for some fruitful years to come.” With its 50-year commitment to the highest standards of prod- ucts and customer service, Carib- bean Cable Company Limited is still “a good connection to make.” CARIBBEAN CABLE COMPANY PREFERRED VENDOR n L.S.
