I know how to listen, and I like to learn from all my coworkers, from the smallest to the biggest. I have been with the Group for 17 years and I am currently working as Operations and Logistics Manager.In Elcatex Group one can aspire and learn, it gives us the opportunity to grow, to study, it gives us training, it has doors and windows open for us to take the opportunity and assume the risk. I came to work in the distribution center as anImport Export assistant. Then I became coordinator of Import Export, then head of the same area until I reached my current position. I invite you to continue working together, we are a company that evolves over the years, and we are going for more.I want to thank God first of all for the opportunity because he has been by my side until now; to my parents who have been leaders to teach me to trace the path; to my father who is with God and every leader I have had, managers, colleagues; each one has taught me personally and at work.
Brenda Lizet
San Lucas Apparel
I am a Human Resources Specialist in Talent Acquisition and Training at San LucasApparel; I schedule the counseling and coordinate the training of the plant employees. I started working 9 years ago when the company was called Dickies. This company was acquired by Elcatex Group and renamed San Lucas. Now I have been with SanLucas for a year and a half. This has been my first job and my motivation to continue in the company has been the professional growth and the experience I have achieved.My job has allowed me to graduate in Industrial Relations; I am working on my dream of starting a family and buying my own house, I know that with God's help and my work I will achieve it.My strengths are teamwork and responsibility, thanks to this I have been able to grow in Elcatex Group. I started working in 2014 as a Quality Auditor in Production; then after two years, I was promoted to Quality. Upon graduation, I was promoted to the administrative area as an Assistant and after 8 months I was given the opportunity to move to the position I hold now.I had no experience in the area, but the company has trusted in my ability and Ihave been able to respond to the responsibility. My message is to study. When youstudy, there is nothing to stop you. Be patient, opportunities always come when you least expect them.
Javier Amílcar

Currently, I work as an Industrial Mechanic at San Lucas Apparel, a company that opened the doors for me to work as an Inspector in 2002. Eventually, I had the opportunity to move to Quality as an Auditor, after 3 years of performing this position I completed tests to become an Instructor. The company has provided me with opportunities for growth, which motivated me to continue my studies.May 2023 not only marks 21 years of working for one of the most stable companies in Honduras, but also my dreams and goals. Among my fulfilled dreams is the job stability that has allowed me to pay for my house and give my daughter an education.One of my biggest challenges has been to constantly update myself, we have been working with mechanical machines, but technology has been modernizing many processes for which we have to be prepared so as not to be left behind.My advice is to enjoy the work, this opens the doors to new opportunities. I consider myself an example of this. Not everything is work, in my free time, I like togo for walks with my family and play soccer, for next year I want to travel outside the country and learn about other cultures.
Marlon Alexander

I work as Production Supervisor in San Lucas one of Elcatex Group's manufacturing plants. In January 2023 I will be working for Elcatex Group for 2years. When I started, I set out to finish building my house, then graduate inAutomotive Mechanics and finish my high school. My new goal is to studyArchitecture. My motivation to continue working at San Lucas has been the work environment and the doors to new opportunities. I started as an operator, then they gave me the promotion to Audit and Quality Control; then I was a trainer. One of the biggest challenges for me has been to produce cuts with quality and speed to be exported immediately. It's complicated, but we've done it. I am very proud to be part of Elcatex Group.Two of my strengths have been God and my family. I have been married for 24years, and as a result of my marriage I have two daughters: María Gabriela and María José.

When I was 10 years old I migrated to Choloma with my mother looking for a better future.Before I turned 18, I sold water at traffic lights. Then I worked as a bus driver and bricklayer. When I came of age, I was hired in a company as an operator, I grew to become a Production Supervisor.I retired from the previous company wanting to learn new things, and that is howI joined Francis Apparel, a manufacturing company of Elcatex Group, asProduction Supervisor. After 2 years, I became Warehouse Supervisor of cut parts, managing all the inventory.

It's all about trust and hard work. It is worth dreaming.
Marlon Medina
St. John Apparel
I work at St. John as Maintenance Manager. I studied Industrial Sewing MachineTechnician at INFOP. When the Human Resources Manager called me to offer me the position of Mechanics Supervisor, I saw it as a challenge, because the company was just starting up.Improving and maintaining the plant's infrastructure is a daily challenge. I have been working here for a year and a half. Soon after, I was offered the position of Maintenance Manager.I had heard that Elcatex Group is one of the best Honduran companies to work for, and I could see that it was. I had never seen a company invest so much in the installation of a new plant in order to keep its employees in good conditions, we are in the right place.I have achieved my goals and one of them was to give my eldest daughter, who studied engineering, the opportunity to study. She went to Spain to work in an insurance company, it was very hard for me because separating from a child is very complicated, but it was for a better future. My next goal is to give my two youngest children an education. In my free time I like to play soccer, go to the movies, watchTV and spend time with my family.
Mildred Portillo
Elcatex Group
I studied a Technical Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science in high school and did my internship at Elcatex. That's how my story began here 19 years ago. I started as a digitizer and currently I am working as a Corporate Business Analyst. I am a fan of spending time with my family and coffee afternoons with my mom and friends. I am someone who never gives up, proof of this is that I joined a department and company occupied mostly by men. However, working at Elcatex provided me with a lot of empowerment and learning. I love Elcatex, it is my home. My message is to never stop persisting. It is great to see the growth of women in this field! In the Group, the ideas that we women have contributed have been heard and are a reality. Creativity, intuition and persistence are the only things that assure us success.
Idania Flores
Elcatex Group
I like spending time with my family and enjoy knowing that they are well in every way. I studied Industrial Engineering and thanks to my degree I started working here. I have been working for the company for 19 years. Something I like is teamwork because I believe in strengthening everyone and the company through team integration. I always started in the Quality department and I have been able to grow until I reached the area's Management. Here, one learns from everything, even from the customers' criteria. I have been able to see the changes in the Group over time. At the beginning, it was a little intimidating to enter an area where more men work, and even more so when I was young. The culture of respect for women has become stronger and stronger over the years. Women have an impressive capacity to learn whatever we set our minds to. The experience working at Elcatex Group has been very good. I have seen many innovative things and it is a company with solutions that are not comparable to other companies in the industry. Working here in the Group has been and is a great experience; it is a company that does things well. Here us women have many opportunities to grow and I am proof of that.
Walkiria Rivera
Genesis Apparel
I studied Industrial Engineering and I like to learn new things always. For that reason, I have continued to take university courses to keep learning. In 2007, I started looking for a new job. The day after I sent my resume, I got a call. Even though I did not have the experience in a management position, it became a very nice challenge. I was surprised to see that a Honduran company had so much progress and development. The experience working at Genesis has been enriching. Something that prepared me to work in an environment dominated by men was having all my uncles in my life. I have excellent relationships with my colleagues. Women, don't stop dreaming and make plans to fulfill them. As women and mothers, we align our plans and share our children's plans as well. There are options to grow, there are options to do very well. I appreciate the Vision shared with us by our president, Jesus Canahuati, as this makes us feel committed - which becomes a blessing and a joy. This is reflected in the growth of the Group and myself.

I started working as an auditor after graduating from high school with a degree in Business Administration. I have always worked in the Development area, in the Sewing area, and thanks to the experience I gained, they opened the doors at Saint Matthew's as a Training Supervisor. I like to enjoy my children. My dreams have changed according to my situations. Two years ago I wanted to Nish college, however, as a result of Covid-19, my husband passed away. My priority now is to provide the best future for my children. I have learned to be resilient and not give up. Elcatex Group is very human, and that promotes our commitment to the company. It has been challenging to work in an industry where men make up the majority, but here we practice equal opportunity. Life puts us through some very difficult things and trials, but God never leaves us. As long as you put your plans in God’s hands and do things with love, doors always open. Here I have learned to work with my heart and I know that I am part of a family.

Hi, I'm Daniel Sierra and I've been working for Elcatex Group for 16 years. I started in the Planning area and nine months later I got my first promotion until I reached my current position of Plant Manager, being the leader of the Production Plant. After knocking on many doors, Elcatex Group gave me the opportunity to start my professional life. Together with my wife, we moved from Tegucigalpa to Choloma, and now we have a home with two children. I thank God for the opportunity to work in a place where the days are never the same. There is always something to learn from the textile industry, from the people in my team - with whom I talk to every day - and that allows us to always come with our batteries recharged. I am grateful to the Canahuati family for the opportunity and trust to lead the Plant and we hope to continue learning and giving much more every day.

Otoniel Rojas
Genesis Apparel
My name is Otoniel Rojas, and I work for Génesis Apparel. I currently hold the position of instructor in the Engineering Department, where I am responsible for supporting the technical growth of the staff, conducting time studies, providing individual follow-up, and ensuring that each team member progresses according to the established learning curves. A typical day at work involves monitoring the development of the team under my supervision and providing the necessary support for them to achieve their productivity and quality goals.I joined the company on July 17, 2018, right after turning eighteen. Génesis Apparel was my first job, and I will always be grateful because it opened the doors for me to start my professional life. I began as an operator in the hem operation for bags. Over time, I learned more processes and always kept the goal of growing.About three years later, I was promoted to floater, a promotion I earned thanks to my effort, continuous learning, and the motivation of the team. That position allowed me to develop further and strengthen my skills. Three years later, the opportunity I had long awaited arrived: the instructor position. Thanks to the team’s support and my preparation, I was able to apply and get the job. On December 15, I will celebrate one year in this role.My main motivation to keep growing at Génesis Apparel is to achieve my personal dreams and goals. I am a shy person, and this job has helped me to open up, improve my communication, and gain confidence to guide others. I am also driven by the desire to help my mother and build a better future for her.One of my most important achievements has been resuming my studies. I come from Nueva Frontera, Santa Bárbara, and before arriving here, I spent almost two years without working. Thanks to the opportunity the company gave me, I have been able to continue my academic education, develop professionally, and grow as a person.The biggest challenge I have faced was overcoming shyness and learning to lead people with confidence. Every day in my role helps me practice and strengthen this skill. I consider one of my strengths to be an open mindset: I learn quickly, always seek improvement, and enjoy sharing what I learn with others.My future goals include providing my mother with a decent home, continuing to advance professionally, and finishing university. My objective is to never stop and take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.My message to other employees is to maintain humility, values, and never give up. Life can present challenges, but with effort, perseverance, and faith, everything is possible. Nothing is impossible for those who decide to move forward.
Zoila Loanmy Santos Tábora
Génesis Apparel
My name is Zoila Loanmy Santos Tábora, and I work for Génesis Apparel. I currently serve as a Human Resources Assistant. My responsibilities include preparing severance payrolls, insurance payroll, WRAP payroll, and providing support to my colleagues in the labor and recruitment areas.I joined the company in June 2020, during the pandemic. I had been out of work for two years and had already applied three times; this was my fourth attempt. I remember thinking: “Well, let’s try again…” And that fourth time was the charm. I started as a sewing operator.At that time, I was studying; I had two years left to finish university. I kept going and completed my professional internship here in the Human Resources department. Later, I was given the opportunity to stay as support for a year. Then I was promoted to Human Resources Assistant, and later to my current position as Human Resources Assistant. It has been a broad, constant, and very meaningful growth for me.What motivates me most to continue being part of Grupo Elcatex is that they truly provide opportunities. They observe performance, pay attention to what you contribute, and teach and guide. In my case, even during my internship, I received compensation—something that usually doesn’t happen. For me, it was a blessing and a gesture that motivated me greatly.In addition to the benefits offered by the group, I am driven by knowing that I can truly grow here, learn, and continue developing every day.Among my personal and professional achievements, the main one has been graduating from university. I have also been able to support my parents, with whom I currently live, and I have started remodeling my house. These are goals I have achieved thanks to my effort and the work I do here.The biggest challenge I have faced was balancing my studies with work schedules. Many times, I had to rush out at six in the evening to make it to class because some started at six fifteen. I studied in San Pedro Sula, so time was limited and the effort was enormous. But I did it, and I am very proud of that.I consider one of my main strengths to be that I learn quickly. When something interests me, I give it my full attention and focus until I master it.Looking ahead, I would like to continue growing within the company. I see myself as a coordinator in an available position and hope, with God’s favor, to be considered when the opportunity arises.Finally, my message to my colleagues and those who come after is this: Be disciplined. Do not give up when a challenge or difficulty appears. Give your best, keep moving forward, and trust that effort always brings rewards.
César Ricardo Pineda
Genesis Apparel
My name is César Ricardo Pineda, and I work for Génesis Apparel. I currently hold the position of Production Supervisor.As a supervisor, my workday starts at six in the morning. The first thing I do is check that all personnel are present; if someone is absent, I request a floater to cover the absence. On Mondays, I begin by changing the operation sheets and then conduct quality rounds to ensure everything meets the standard. After that, I continue with all the daily activities typical of the production area.I joined Génesis Apparel on May 26, 2018, starting as a sewing operator. During the pandemic, while working packing masks, Engineer José Doblado came to the area looking for support for the instructors, as the workload was very high at that time. He invited me to collaborate, and together with other colleagues, we began providing support while masks and gowns were being manufactured.Later, Engineer Juan Carlos explained that the assignment would be temporary. At the end of mask and gown production, we were informed that we would have the opportunity to apply for floater positions. I gladly accepted.After the pandemic, I became a floater. After a year in that role, I had the opportunity to become an instructor. I spent two years in that position and was later promoted to supervisor, the role I currently hold. It has been significant growth, from 2018 to today.What motivates me to stay at Grupo Elcatex is that this company has given me real opportunities to grow and improve myself.Among my personal achievements, one of the most important is that thanks to my job, I have been able to acquire my own belongings; I am currently close to buying my own house, which has been a dream for me.The biggest challenge I have faced has been working directly with personnel, as at first, I had no experience in managing people. Over time, with support and effort, I have learned a lot, and today I feel much more prepared and confident in that aspect. One of my strengths is that I know how to listen. When someone needs support, I try to assist and provide an appropriate response.As for my goals, I want to resume my studies next year and continue growing professionally because this is a company where you can truly advance.Finally, my message to other employees is this: Stay motivated and keep moving forward because this company offers opportunities and allows growth for those willing to make an effort.
Jessica Ávila
Suyapa Apparel
My name is Jessica Ávila, and I work at Suyapa Apparel as an inspector. My responsibility is to ensure the quality of the garments we ship for export.I joined the company eight months ago, and thanks to the instructors and the support I’ve received, I’ve experienced significant growth. Today, I consider my performance to be very good.What motivates me to stay at Grupo Elcatex is the desire to keep studying, grow professionally, and improve my work and personal situation.

Edith Janet Domínguez Licona
Suyapa Apparel
My name is Edith Janet Domínguez Licona, I am 20 years old, and I am an inspector. My responsibilities include controlling dozens on the board and system, box alignment, and keeping my area clean. Additionally, as inspectors, we must be aligned with auditing and observe every detail, just like a process auditor.I joined the company on February 17, 2025. At first, I felt afraid because this area involves great responsibility, but over time I have adapted, become more flexible, and learned to work with different styles.I am motivated to continue my studies and financially support my mother, with whom I live. Thanks to this job, I am close to achieving a very important goal: owning my own home.One of my biggest challenges was dealing with client rejections, which led to many meetings and pressure for inspectors. I learned that each style has its particularities, and you must know how to identify defects from the process to the end.My strengths are agility, learning ability, and patience—a key skill in this area.My goal is to study at university, and although it sounds challenging, I would like to work in Human Resources at Grupo Elcatex because I am attracted to that environment and want to prepare to get there.My message to other employees is to have patience, perseverance, and work together. A strong team can achieve great things.
Gloria Carolina Rivas Salguero
Suyapa Apparel
My name is Gloria Carolina Rivas Salguero, I am 24 years old, and I work at Suyapa as a sleeve-sewing operator. My responsibility is to meet production targets and ensure the quality of each garment.I started on August 19, 2024, in the inspection area, and then I was assigned to the machine area, where I now work sewing sleeves—a challenge that initially caused fear but that I now enjoy and master.What motivates me to keep working at Grupo Elcatex is the desire to learn new operations, grow professionally, and improve my quality of life. Thanks to this job, I have been able to study beauty and buy my motorcycle—achievements I value greatly.My biggest challenge was adapting to machine work. I felt afraid, but I learned that with effort and determination, great things can be achieved.My main strength is determination: when I set my mind to something, I achieve it. I strive in every area where I am assigned, and I know I can learn new operations.My goals are to own my own home and continue growing in my studies.My message to other employees is to fight for what they want.

Keyvi Pineda Hernández
Suyapa Apparel
My name is Keyvi Pineda Hernández, and I work at Suyapa Apparel as a sleeve-sewing operator. My main responsibility is to meet the assigned production.When I started, I only produced three dozen, and now I achieve between eight and nine. I have grown both in skills and performance, especially in this operation, which is very critical. I also know how to perform other tasks such as overlock stitching and closing sleeves.My greatest motivation is my children. I am a single mother, and I want to provide them with stability and a better future. I want to grow in the plant, improve my production, and achieve a better future.Thanks to this job at Grupo Elcatex, I have been able to continue my studies at IHER, where I recently moved from eighth to ninth grade. I have also learned to be strong and face the challenges of my family situation.I have skills such as learning quickly, staying focused, drawing, and a special interest in the beauty field.My future goals are to build my house and own my own car. I want my children to have a stable home.My advice to other employees is to take advantage of the study opportunities offered by the company because they are a foundation for growth and self-improvement. This company has been a great opportunity for me, and I continue to grow thanks to commitment and the desire to learn.
Eda Sorto
Suyapa Apparel
When I started reviewing everything I had done before, I realized I had things stored—knowledge I had left behind—and I needed to pick them up again. I had to remember how to use some applications and how to do each task. In the end, that was good because it helped me see what I had stored that I could still use, what I could improve, and what I needed to study again to keep growing.If I were given the opportunity to continue studying, I would like to pursue a master’s degree in human resources and English. That is a goal I have for the coming years.I want to thank you for the opportunity because I had been trying to enter various fields and couldn’t find a job. It was very difficult, but I made it. That has meant a lot to me.After about three years of looking for a job opportunity, I came to think that maybe I should stop. I felt that there were things I learned in college but needed to update my knowledge. So I started looking for online courses on leadership, life skills—everything I could take advantage of on the internet. Since I like reading, I began dedicating more time to it.In that process, I realized that many professionals, even with master’s degrees, were unemployed and had aspirations similar to mine.My advice is this: don’t settle for the idea of “I already have the degree, and that’s it.” We need to read more, constantly update ourselves, and be self-taught. That makes us more competitive and more sought after in a company. Because it’s not always just about experience; a good professional profile is also built with continuous preparation.
Emy Aleman
Suyapa Apparel
It has been a completely different experience—a big change for me. Coming from a completely different area made me see things differently. When you are in the production department, you only see everything superficially. But once in this new department, I realized everything the tasks involve, the responsibility they imply, and also how important it is to learn to deal with employees and solve the problems they may have.Before, I saw things more technically, but now everything is more personal, more oriented toward interacting with each person, each employee. That is one of the biggest differences between the areas, and it is something I have had to learn day by day.My message to my colleagues, above all, is to keep studying. Education opens many doors. Fight for your goals and dreams because there is no goal or dream that is impossible. Everything can be achieved with dedication and effort.I want to thank God first and then the company for giving me the opportunity to develop both personally and professionally. I feel that I have achieved several of the objectives I had when I joined. During orientation, they asked us what our goal was, and most of us said we wanted to grow. I said the same, and today I can proudly say that I did it—I achieved the professional and personal growth I set out for myself.
Sara Caballero
Suyapa Apparel
My name is Sara Esperanza Caballero. I am originally from San Pedro Sula. I am currently studying Industrial Relations at UTH. I am married and have two children.In my free time, I enjoy going out with my family. We love going out to eat and to the movies. I also really like cycling; I enjoy riding my bike a lot.One of my dreams has always been to travel. I like discovering new places, and thanks to God, I have been able to do so. Personally, one of my goals is to keep growing within the company and also dedicate myself to real estate. I like acquiring properties. I already own my own home, and one of my achievements has been remodeling it to my liking. The promotions I have received within the company have helped me achieve that goal.I consider myself a person with strong leadership skills. People tell me that, and I feel it too. I am an empowered woman in that area.I have been working at the company for almost six years. I am currently a Training Coordinator. One of my main motivations to stay here is that the group offers many real growth opportunities.The opportunity to work at Suyapa came because a department head in engineering, with whom I had already worked at another company, opened the doors for me. I love training people from scratch. And although a supervisor tends to give orders, the engineering department is more about service—teaching—and that is what drives me.Also, when I joined Suyapa, the company only had two teams. I was practically there from the start. And I said: there will be many opportunities here. And that’s how it has been. I started as an instructor, then I was promoted to training supervisor, and later to training coordinator, which is the position I currently hold.One of the biggest challenges I have faced has been getting the plant up and running from scratch. It is not easy to start a completely new plant. But today we are well-positioned, and for me, that has been a huge achievement and challenge.A message I would share is don’t give up. Keep studying. The group offers excellent growth opportunities, and it is worth fighting for the dreams you have.Finally, I want to express my gratitude. I am very thankful for all the opportunities I have been given.
