New CICUR offices inaugurated in León
The main representative body of the tanning industry in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, CICUR, inaugurated its new offices in León on May 22, with municipal authorities and industry representatives in attendance.

According to figures from the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), the tanning sector accounts for 54,851 formal jobs in the municipality, approximately 13% of the total. CICUR president Vicente Lahud Martínez said the new headquarters reflect the sector’s long-term vision and capacity for adaptation.

Municipal president Ale Gutiérrez described the industry as an economic mainstay and noted that the local government has allocated more than 2 million pesos ($102,000) between 2022 and 2024 to support training, equipment, and infrastructure in the sector. She also highlighted the broader Avanza León programme, which involves over 5 billion pesos in planned investment to improve infrastructure and economic conditions across the city.
