Textilana, Owner of Mauro Sergio, Seeks Court Debt Reorganization to Keep Factory Running

The court-supervised process lets the Mar del Plata maker renegotiate debts to keep its plant open.

Overview

  • Textilana said it requested a concurso preventivo to restructure more than 2.4 billion pesos in liabilities and keep supplying customers.
  • The plant remains in operation after suspending 175 workers with 78% pay and bringing them back on April 1, with production now near 60% of capacity.
  • Ámbito reported the court file had not yet been formally entered, which leaves the start of creditor talks and next steps unclear.
  • The company blamed a drop in consumer spending and a surge of imported clothing, including from platforms like Temu and Shein, for the cash squeeze.
  • FITA data show textile activity fell 23.9% year over year in January and factories ran at about 24% capacity, while unions warn a failed reorganization could ripple through local workshops and suppliers.
