Through strategic alliances, we seek to develop knowledge at the operational-technical level on spinning, weaving, industrial tailoring, finishing, among others. The objective is also to create training, education, research and development activities for middle and senior management, which will benefit all those involved in the industrial approach to the textile and apparel industry in Guatemala.
