Ultimate Solutions and Engiworks, two companies from Caguas dedicated to offering solutions and products to the Pharmaceutical Industry, shared some collaboration strategies as part of the MBE 2 MBE Power Break event.

Yoel Rivera, president of Ultimate Solutions, and Felix Rivera, president of EngiWorks, spoke about how both have joined their services and products to offer their clients more complete solutions.
Entrepreneurs established that in order to seek expansion opportunities, many times, it is necessary to create alliances with suppliers that help businesses scale to more competitive and global levels.
In addition, they mentioned that for this type of alliance to be successful, there must be trust, transparency, fidelity, integrity, commitment, make documentation and have clear ideas.
“Both (Ultimate Solutions and Engiworks) know the strengths and weaknesses of each business. We have developed a trust and whenever we go as a team to a client, we always go with a lot of transparency. Without hiding anything. We have done very successful projects together,” said Yoel Rivera. “You must be very clear about what this group contributes to what I don’t have. The ideas and needs have to be clear and the risks have to be established”, he added.
Felix Rivera urged local entrepreneurs to join together and collaborate to aspire to acquire more projects.
“You have to learn to have tolerance. That is part of doing something new. I invite people to get together, collaborate and each one knows their degree of responsibility”, he indicates. At the same time, he emphasized strengthening teamwork. “When you collaborate, they must have the skills to work in a team. The protagonist in these alliances is not you, it is the team”, he said.
