The economic figures footwear factory, producers sellers and artisan groups present ruptures in their productive chains that negatively influence the gradual increase of their productions, highlighting the lack of raw materials and the use of obsolete technologies. It responds to an ancient tradition and is inspired by the skills of its artisans, shared and improved in a continuous exchange of experiences and constant competition for markets and new profit options. The changes that have taken place in the Cuban economy have conditioned the development of an APIL where the updating of knowledge, innovation and the constant improvement of artisans have guaranteed the competitiveness of their businesses.
