Ivan do Prado also said that, with the planned rehabilitation of the country's three main textile factories - Textang II, Satec and Alassola - there will be conditions for the production of 20 million pieces of clothing per year.
With support of 1.2 billion dollars from Japanese financing, industrial units began rehabilitation some time ago.
The ‘Nova’ Textang II, located in Cazenga, was the target of an investment of 235 million dollars that was used in the rehabilitation of infrastructures, hiring of personnel and purchase of equipment, says Angop.
After being handed over, together with the other two units, to private companies, in June of this year the Attorney General's Office (PGR) proceeded with his arrest, in the face of irregularities in the process and non-compliance.
Now, the President of the Republic, scheduled for this Wednesday a visit to the company of Cazenga, in order to know “in detail” the operation of the unit, said the Secretary for Institutional Communication and Press Affairs of the President of the Republic, Luís Fernando, at a press conference.
João Lourenço received technical explanations from the infrastructure managers, going through the warehouses and the entire production process of the fabric (cotton treatment, spinning, weaving, washing and dyeing).
The recently rehabilitated Textang II has a monthly production capacity in the order of 250 thousand linear meters of fabric.
