Details

Precedent: garment plants in Mixco and Villa Nueva; in February 2019 it announced a polyester chemical-fiber, fabric and dyeing complex of around US$400 million (Prensa Libre) or around US$200 million (Just Style) with 1,500-2,000 jobs; it operates as a trading company (it bought from KOA Modas on Target's behalf) and contributed US$3.3 million as a 'humanitarian contribution' in that case

Address1a. Avenida La Brigada 13-30, zona 7 de Mixco, Col. San Ignacio (Guatemala); plantas en Mixco y Villa Nueva

Directory source

sources disagree on the amount for the complex (US$400 million vs around US$200 million); no confirmation that it was built, the last signal was 'under review' (July 2019); the start date in Guatemala is not on record
