Pantaleon is proud to announce that we have joined the Partnership for Central America (PCA). An initiative led by the U.S. government that seeks to create economic opportunities through the creation of decent and inclusive jobs in Northern Central America.
Currently, more than 40 local and international companies have announced different commitments that would mean an investment of USD$3.2 billion to promote long-term opportunities through job creation and skills development for people in our region. Therefore, reaffirming our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, we attended the Summit of the Americas where we announced our commitment to build an Industrial Park in Escuintla, called Synergy Industrial Park, with an investment of USD$9.3 million. Our commitment is also aligned with the National Competitiveness Plan, which seeks to develop and promote intermediate cities such as Escuintla. In its initial phase, Synergy Industrial Park will generate 200 jobs and this number will reach more than 1,500 when it reaches its operational capacity, thus benefiting thousands of people in the South Coast.
Synergy Industrial Park has an area of almost 5,000 hectares and seeks to attract businesses and people thanks to the opportunities generated by its strategic location, which has access to major highways connecting Mexico and Central America. The master plan includes residential development, vacation homes, universities, hotels and various forms of entertainment.
