Is Chimaltenango or Sacatepéquez a good place for the plant?

Chimaltenango is one of the five departments where 29-89 textile firms concentrated (1990–2011) according to MSICG. Sacatepéquez appears on EEGSA's list of the most industrialized departments in its service area, on the CA-1 interoceanic corridor. Both lie outside the department of Guatemala, so the CE2 maquila minimum applies (Q3,221.10 monthly base in 2026, about 5.5% below CE1), and Chimaltenango is 50–60 km from the capital. There is no register of plants by municipality.
