GK will invest US $236 million in some of its Real Estate and Textile projects to generate a greater number of jobs in Honduras.
Mohammad Yusuf Amdani, Chairman and founder of GK, announced that the company will invest up to 236 million dollars in its different business units in Honduras, which will generate around 7,000 direct jobs in the country. This investment will be channeled through its Altia Smart City, Green Valley Advanced Manufacturing Hub, and textile division projects.
According to Bloomberg, Amdani stated that Honduras has a unique opportunity to create jobs in the northern triangle of Central America, and that is why they hope to become an example for other companies to invest in the country.
“We constantly challenge ourselves to make a real positive impact while positioning ourselves as a strong and passionate leader in innovation, technology and sustainability.” Amdani commented.
Among the projects underway are the construction of Tower 4 in Altia Business Park, the restart of the executive hotel, and the development of a solar project, as well as the expansion of the power plant in Green Valley.
