The Tlaxcala state government is attempting to activate economic dynamism in the business, create as well as retain jobs in the textile and garment sectors, through promotional events, training and round table conferences with national and international firms, since 2011.

The Ministry of Tourism and Economic Development, which maintains close cooperation and responsibility with Camara Textile Industry (Citex) and National Garment Industry (CANAIVE) are responsible behind the initiative to promote Tlaxcala’s textiles and clothing sector.

The goal of the government’s initiative is to create an impact through the textiles and clothing sectors as it generates thousands of jobs in the state through 4,000 production units.
