Effective immediately, Anval has sole distribution rights for Cascade products in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.

"We see great opportunities for growth entering into this partnership with Cascade," says Clara Antonia Leon, Anval's general manager. "Cascade products are industry-leading solutions that offer incredible value and we look forward to bringing these top-quality products to our customers."

Established in 2007, Anval has built a strong reputation with years of expertise and excellent customer service.
