On April 6, Guatemala’s Minister of Economy, Rubén Morales Monroy, participated in the“Annual Networking Cocktail” in New York City, USA. The event is organized every year by the Guatemalan Apparel and Textile Industry Association (Vestex) to attract more investment and buyers to the country.
The 32nd edition of the Apparel Sourcing Show (APSS) reaffirms this resilience. It is the only regional fair specialized in this industry and this year highlights the sustainability and innovation of the Guatemalan cluster.
With a consolidated ecosystem in the textile industry , Guatemala competes and positions itself as a strategic supplier in the “big leagues” of the sports market. From uniforms to fan apparel, products reach the NBA, NHL and MLB.
The U.S. Embassy reported that the U.S. and Guatemala committed to formalize a work plan to develop Puerto Quetzal, including additional feasibility studies, design planning and training by U.S. experts for the local infrastructure workforce.
