The Perlea underwear factory is located at 2470 Lascano, in the Villa del Parque neighborhood and has 90 years of history. On May 5 of last year, in the midst of a pandemic, the owners Horacio and Alicia Naiberger, sons of Mauricio who passed away 9 years ago, decided to close the plant until further notice. The workers organized quickly and decided to occupy the company to protect the machines and sources of work. There were 122 employees.
After long months and negotiations with the judge in charge of the case, María Soledad Casaza, last December they managed to obtain the license to form a cooperative and continue working.
In Perlea the entire production process is carried out, from design to molding. It is chalked, it is cut, it goes to the workshop where there are a lot of machines, it is sent to be cleaned, packed, dispatched and sent to the premises.

CONTEX offers clothing manufacturing and marketing. Sale of youth, sport and dress shirts for retail and wholesale customers.
In the 1950s, the first textile enterprises that made fasón for companies in the Federal Capital were presented in Las Flores. In 1959, one of the pioneers in the development of his own brand was born, which marked the difference between traditional outsourcing and the new way of marketing garments: Cattorini SAIC.
Internally, it generated a highly qualified workforce, which is why, in the 1970s, the GATIC company chose the city to install its main clothing factory. The prevailing conditions in the country made these two large industries disappear and generated a large number of small and medium-sized workshops that managed to keep the textile tradition alive. This cooperative was one of the pioneers in the formation of the Association of Textile Manufacturers of Las Flores, which managed, with government support, to partially cover the shortcomings detected in the companies.

“Los Andes” Technical School (Bariloche, Rio Negro)
The “Los Andes” Technical Cooperative School (ECTLA) was founded in 1991 by a group of teachers who decided to gather under the form of a work cooperative (National Registration 12,224). Thus, the second intermediate level technical school in the city of Bariloche is constituted (there was only ENET Nº1, currently CET Nº 2).
The institution has always been sustained and has been growing with its own funds and with the efforts of the same teachers, students and parents. On some occasions throughout its history, the school received support from companies, especially in relation to technological elements that said companies had in disuse and through work internship agreements.
Undoubtedly, it makes a difference to train technicians with a supportive, associative spirit, working together and teaching how to do it, as they do, because that difference is the values of cooperativism.
The cooperative school has stood out for many years for its great social work with the community and excellent academic training with internships at INVAP and the Bariloche Atomic Center.
Students use the acquired technical knowledge to a great extent to help the community. They create hearing aids, 3D-printed prostheses, elements to help blind people, such as smart canes or devices for bus stops.
Awarded for designing glasses with sensors for blind people
In 2018, the students Christian Tarragaona, Ignacio Cañavale, Sebastián Martín Taylor, Leonardo Dreizzen and Agustín Neira from the Los Andes Technical School won the “Banco Patagonia Challenge” award for the project to create an “ultrasonic sensor eyeglass” for people with disabilities. seers. The sensors that were incorporated into the glasses serve to detect objects above the waist of the blind person, since at that height the traditional cane cannot anticipate obstacles.
