With a presence on the international market today, MozTex produces 5.8 million garments annually, exported mainly to South Africa
The MozTex company, an investment by the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), has been trying for 15 years to revitalize the textile industry in Mozambique, a sector in which the country was once a ‘giant’ in southern Africa.
It’s been 15 years since MozTex began operations, a factory rebuilt over the ruins of the former TEXLOM, which was the largest textile company in Mozambique and one of the benchmarks in the area in southern Africa, located in Matola, on the outskirts of the Mozambican capital.
Texlom was dedicated to producing textiles for the domestic market and for the former socialist bloc of Eastern Europe, with which Mozambique had maintained close relations since the liberation struggle. However, Texlom collapsed, and the infrastructure deteriorated for almost ten years.
