Intradeco Holdings, a global vertical manufacturing company supplying casual clothing and thermal underwear to major retailers in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, is investing more than $100 million in Central America to make the most of the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement and near-shoring opportunities.
The investment will also advance full circularity and expand solar power with three major projects.
The first project is the Central American Spinning Works, a state-of-the-art ring spinning mill in Honduras, which began operations earlier this year.
Second is the Central America Spinning Works’ creation of a manufacturing plant in El Salvador that uses 100 percent recycled yarns, both cotton and synthetics. This will allow the company to advance in its full circularity textile supply chain strategy.
