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.
