Lucía Palacios, director of Promotion for the Guatemalan Apparel and Textile Association (VESTEX), the event organizer, explained to Prensalibre.com that "... the increase in exports means new business, which leads to more investment in machinery, technology and other inputs to be found at the Apparel Sourcing Show.

Palacios added that they would like to "... breaking paradigms and eliminating stigmas that the maquila only sews and goes, instead, is a development that goes beyond that. For example, there are currently companies that can extract fibers from plastic bottles and turn them into fabric, and although Guatemala is not a cotton producer, it imports the raw material and transforms it into fabric, the more value the garment has, the greater the volume and quality of exports.
