The Adétikopé Industrial Platform (PIA) in Togo has become a key center for regional trade and collaboration, providing modern infrastructure such as a dry port and an integrated industrial zone to support commerce across the country.
Recently, Chargé d’Affaires Richard C. Michaels visited the PIA, where he toured Star Garments. This company is a subsidiary of Komar Company, which is based in New Jersey, United States. The visit highlighted ongoing economic cooperation between the U.S. and Togo.
According to Michaels: "During his recent visit, Chargé d’Affaires Richard C. Michaels visited one of the companies present, Star Garments, a subsidiary of the US-based Komar Company in New Jersey, illustrating the strength of the economic ties between the United States and Togo, a partnership that supports the growth and prosperity of both countries."
The presence of American companies like Star Garments at PIA demonstrates opportunities created by initiatives such as AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act), which aims to expand trade between African nations and the United States.
