Gutierrez, Juan
Owner - Cocina Mi Fogon factory in Leon, Nicaragua




Juan Gutierrez was born in the historic colonial city of Leon, Nicaragua, where he currently lives and works. He is married and has three children.

Juan's first ecological project was ten years ago when he received a training to build a cooking stove that consumed less firewood. Juan started producing this model and designing other wood stoves that he now builds. A year and a half ago Juan started his factory and now produces twenty four different models of cooking wood stoves including the Ecocina. Juan has four employees at the factory, and has earned six awards and twenty eight recognitions from environmental agencies for his efforts to protect the forest and the environment.
