Truths of Maxy Montilla that is intended to be ignored
Our numbers and our companies have been the subject of accusations on social media and in some traditional media, which have decided to open a trial with conclusive positions.
In view of this, we have decided to face leaving aside the trajectory of a low-profile citizen, who basically lives in his family, work and business environment.
First of all, we want to make public knowledge that we have tried to communicate through various channels with the new authorities of the electricity sector and with the highest authorities of the public ministry, to make ourselves available and deliver all the required documentation in relation to the complaints against us and everything that has been derived from them.
However, we have received only silence and indifference in response, which signals signs of limitations on our right to defend ruthless attacks on ourselves.
In this same sense, we presented to the Attorney General’s Office on December 3 and subsequently filed a communication in which we establish our willingness to clarify, personally and responsibly, any point of interest of the public ministry.
In this case, equally, the doors have been closed, while officials in the electricity sector go to the television to rant, offering all kinds of versions, even sarcastically, without the seriousness of a rigorous investigation.
We started commercial activity in the electricity sector in 2004, dedicating ourselves exclusively to it from 2008, with my companies Transformers Solomon Dominicana, SAS and Electrocable Aluconsa, SAS and other related companies.
We are personally listed as the majority shareholder of all companies, which are up to date in all their tax obligations.
Our financial statements are audited by independent auditors with international accreditation.
Our companies have, since 2008, administrative offices, warehouses and camps; we have a managerial and operational structure and a highly qualified and specialized staff, both nationally and abroad (specifically in the People’s Republic of China).
This allows us to participate in the processes in a competitive way and add value to the sector, thanks to the multiple representations and the exclusivity of manufacturers recognitions and frames of electrical materials that we place in a leading position in the sector.
With a 16-year work history in the electricity sector, we have accumulated a demanding clientele, both from companies with state participation and in the private sector, having benefited from contracts with multilateral organizations, such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
All of the above has been thanks to our quality standard and the best prices on the market, more after-sales services with extended guarantees of our products and responsiveness in case of complaints.
We have been awarded exclusive contracts with materials that do not meet that condition, which is FALSE. We are only unique suppliers in the line of telemedicine meters / Twacs, as we have exclusive representation of the American company ACLARA TECHNOLOGIES, which began the implementation of its technology to measure consumption and prevent theft of energy by fraud in the country since 2004.
This technology is used in other countries with a high level of satisfaction, putting our sector at the level of the highest international quality standards in terms of communication system of this nature.
We started business relations with ACLARA TECHNOLOGIES in 2012 and, after an extensive technical evaluation, obtained exclusive representation for the country in 2013.
We have also been falsely accused of benefiting from an alleged preferential payment channel. Our means of payment have always been the same as those of other suppliers, reaching overdue invoices more than a year.
At present, distributors have overdue debts with us for more than 270 days, despite the fact that the materials sold were delivered as products of public licensing processes, which are certified with sufficient funds. In this sense, the payment was made by making some requirements up to 60 days from the issuance of the invoice, according to the terms of the standard contracts used by the distributors.
The materials were received in a timely manner satisfactorily, with technical evaluation reports in each case. This is a sign of the lack of preferential treatment that imputes to us.
On the other hand, we have never sold to an institution in which we had an impediment for reasons of familiarity, in accordance with Article 14 number 5 of Law 340-06 on public procurement.
Certainly, from 2004 to date we have gained many purchasing processes, but we have also lost many. Our action has been marked within transparency and both our suppliers, subcontractors and private customers can testify about the quality of our products and services and our economic offers give an account of the competitiveness of our prices in each of the processes in which we participate. .
Our interest is to clarify all the allegations that have been made through the media campaigns promoted by competitors, who have approved this situation to, in a wise way, try to destroy our business reputation and good name in order to get us out of the market. . .
We reiterate our willingness to provide the authorities with all the information and documentation required of us in an attempt to clarify the unfounded allegations against us.
