Several of the largest textile groups in the region have joined forces, along with the President of the Republic, Juan Orlando Hernández, as honorary witness, to create this new synthetic yarn production plant that withholds a capacity of more than 25,000 tonnes per year.

New textile segment

This will be the first production plant of its size and nature in Central America opening Honduras' doors to a new textile segment, attracting more specialised manufacturing industries for the transformation of synthetic yarn of different dimensions and categories of texture.

The DTY, draw texturized yarn, will then be used for the production of synthetic garments, sportswear, clothing resistant to stain, among others.

Unitexa is a result of the trust generated in international and national investors by the programme Honduras 20|20, which prioritises the textile sector. In addition, it has reportedly generated significant improvements in the country´s customs system, as well as the implementation of a modern tax code.

Job opportunities

Due to the need for a greater specialisation in the production of synthetic yarn, Unitexa will continuously seek to develop the personnel it employs, generating a total of 250 direct jobs and approximately 300 indirect jobs.

In addition of the job opportunities, this production plant will generate significant amounts of foreign exchange for the country due to product exports, as well as having a sustainability plan, which assures a socially and environmentally responsible investment.
