Clarks partner to double capacity in Nicaragua

01/04/2014
Brazilian footwear manufacturer Tecshoes has announced its intention to double the capacity of its operations in Nicaragua by 2015, increasing its production lines from five to ten, giving it a capacity of 10,000 pairs per day.

Tecshoes has made footwear for Clarks in the Central American country since 2011; the CAFTA free trade agreement between Central America and the US means the brand can ship shoes from Nicaragua to the US duty free.

The Brazilian company is one of the first footwear firms to operate in a free zone in Nicaragua. The government there harbours hope that the free zone set-up will work as well in Nicaragua as it has in the Dominican Republic.
