Confecciones y Maquilas Cepeda Ruiz, S.A. de C.V. started operations in 1942 as "Fabrica La Esperanza". Located in Saltillo, Coahuila; México, our company was founded by Mr. Guillermo Cepeda Pérez, father of our current director, Jaime Cepeda Ruiz.

 

CEPEDA RUIZ initiated making jeans and denim jackets for the national market, using its own brand "LY" (Lucio Ybarra), which was sold to retailers, different chain stores and specialty stores. Taking advantage of a modern factory, CEPEDA RUIZ was one of the first Mexican apparel factories to start producing export quality products for the United States and European markets.

 

In 1978 our company installed the wet process and finishing facility. The garments were wet processed, pressed, tagged and packed to be shipped to their final destination.

 

In 1980 our company started working under the 807 program with different customers in U.S.A. Later we applied for the PITEX program, currently known as IMMEX (for temporarily importation of goods that will be used in the manufacture of product to be exported).

 

Our company has become specialized in the production of industrial and work wear apparel making garments such as coveralls, overalls, jackets, pants, work coats, work shirts and accessories, made out of FR (Fire Retardant) and Non-FR fabrics.

 

CEPEDA RUIZ currently has customers in U.S.A. and Canada for which we proudly manufacture FR Garments.
