One of the principal areas of business is that of school textbooks, which have been widely used throughout the Panamanian school system in both private and public institutions. It gives us great pleasure in knowing that our direct efforts support such a noble cause….the education of Panama’s youth. This endeavor has recently been extended to the international arena. Today, books published by DISTRIBUIDORA LEWIS, S.A. are being used in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and in some areas of the United States. Plans are to expand our international exposure to additional geographical areas in the USA, Mexico, and South America. Our publications have been rapidly accepted in the different countries where they have been offered, a fact that demonstrates the quality and salability of the products that have been developed.
