Grupo Atria is a 100% Honduran-owned business group with more than 75 years of history. Six companies united by a shared origin and a shared commitment: quality, innovation and the economic development of Honduras and Central America. Agencia J.E. Handal is the group's industrial-equipment company.
SPESA — Sewn Products Equipment & Suppliers of the Americas — is the industry association for suppliers to the sewn products industry: the manufacturers and distributors of machinery, technology, systems, parts and services that make production possible.
It was founded in 1990, when a group of industry leaders saw that the companies supplying the machinery and the technology needed a collective voice. Much of the conversation about apparel revolved around brands and retailers, yet the innovation driving the industry — from cutting and sewing equipment to automation and software — came from the suppliers holding up production behind the scenes.
It remains the forum where that side of the industry collaborates, shares knowledge and makes its voice count. Agencia J.E. Handal is an active member.
The Asociación Hondureña de Maquiladores is a private, non-political, non-profit institution with its own legal standing, representing the country's manufacturing companies before public and private institutions.
It was founded on 29 October 1991, when the rapid growth of manufacturing — today one of Honduras's largest sources of jobs and exports — called for a common voice. It was created to promote and develop the sector's investment and exports, at home and abroad.
Its work is to sustain the growth of its member companies and with it the productive jobs that raise the country's competitiveness and reduce poverty: institutional support so that conditions and the legal framework encourage investment, training and in-plant innovation programmes, and stronger labour relations with corporate social responsibility and care for the environment. Agencia J.E. Handal is a member.
