Jujuy
The court issued its ruling on April 10, and publication began in August. The case followed a court-supervised restructuring in which no interested party submitted a proposal, so it is not a decision made this week.
National
The state-owned aircraft manufacturer projects liabilities of ARS 152.003,8 million for 2026 after nearly two years of reduced activity. No court-supervised restructuring proceeding has been opened and no collective lawsuit has been filed.
Buenos Aires
The Buenos Aires governor brought together business owners, industry chambers and unions to challenge the national economic programme. Verónica Magario pointed to high costs, imports and falling consumption, while Augusto Costa reported 1,597 company closures and more than 46,000 industrial jobs lost.
La Rioja
The La Rioja textile company is awaiting an expanded uniform tender to restart for about two months. This is not a permanent closure, but it exposes a weakened industrial structure and a year-on-year loss of 2,600 formal private-sector jobs.
Misiones
The Ministry of Industry will accompany the selected SMEs to a business round on 26 of August in La Rural. The mission will offer meetings with buyers and operators from the sector, but their participation does not guarantee contracts, new clients, or sales until the negotiations produce concrete agreements.
Buenos Aires
The debate over the Super RIGI reached the point that most concerns industrial chambers and SMEs: what a major investment benefited for decades by the State leaves in the Argentine economy. Ariel Aguilar, Buenos Aires province's Undersecretary for Commercial Development and Investment Promotion, said the project has “zero requirement for local productive development.” The argument exposes a deeper discussion about the country model.
La Rioja
The textile company had planned an industrial hall for up to 500 jobs, but lost orders from clothing brands and announced its definitive closure. The TN Plates group committed to paying compensation to a workforce that had fallen to around 60 people.
Buenos Aires
The company stopped operating its plants in Las Flores and Ricardo Rojas. The Las Flores municipality met with some employees and linked the textile crisis to import liberalization and falling consumption, while awaiting the payment of severance and activation of the corresponding coverage.
Catamarca
The Unión Industrial de Catamarca requested reference values for imported products and better conditions for northern firms to compete. Luis Caputo said his team is studying an origin-based control system, while another meeting in Buenos Aires is being arranged without a confirmed date.
Catamarca
The company will permanently cease its production in the coming days. Its manager, Julio Serrano, attributed the decision to falling sales, reduced activity, and imported competition; the plant had employed up to 150 people.
Córdoba
The company sent about 35 dismissal notices and reportedly seeks to cut nearly 70% of its workforce. Employees claim unpaid wages, bonuses, and severance while the UOM and ASIMRA negotiate without agreement before the Labor Secretariat.
Buenos Aires
Goldmund dismantled the plant, moved its machinery to San Martín, and relocated the offices to the City of Buenos Aires. The company is trying to restructure liabilities exceeding 39.234 billion Argentine pesos and reduced its staff from more than 350 to 111 workers.
Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands
The Ministry of Labor intervened after the company barred 300 people from entering, including 28 union delegates. The order temporarily suspends the dismissals and opens a hearing, but the claims made by Mirgor and UOM still have to be formally documented and assessed.
San Luis
Master Lajas, Cidal and Cerámica San Lorenzo embody the deterioration of a manufacturing network marked by shutdowns, unpaid wages and outstanding severance. Bagley, Drean and Spar have also seen protests, suspensions or early leave, although their situations do not amount to permanent closures.
Buenos Aires
The company announced a definitive closure, but its lawyer later said the staff were suspended and would be called to individual settlements. The workers arrived without dismissal notices, found security at the entrance, and demanded pending wages, vacation pay, and severance.
Santa Fe
Santa Fe's Industrial Federation rejected the minister's disparagement of those warning about the sector. It cited falling activity, lost competitiveness, higher costs and uncertainty, and called for a data-based debate on investment, jobs and regional economies.
Córdoba
The IECA programme includes commercial, independent and community cinemas and aims to open more than 150 screens to productions made in the province. Llaryora brought the sector together to implement an incentive described as unprecedented nationally.
Buenos Aires
The Techint group company sent dismissal notices to permanent staff despite mandatory conciliation imposed after 150 terminations. The Avellaneda metalworkers' union notified the Buenos Aires Province Labor Ministry, which must assess penalties or legal action when the measure expires.
Chubut
The fishing company's president conditioned his attendance at hearings on a STIA union official taking a toxicology test and promised to undergo the same check. The Labor Secretariat must rule on a conciliation order challenged by the company.
Córdoba
Sector employment has fallen 10.5 percent since December 2023 and stood at 37,694 workers in April. The Metalworking Activity Observatory found that four in ten factories produced less in July and more than half suffered lower profitability.
Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands
The strike and march will take place August 5 from 1 to 5 p.m., after business chambers notified changes to production lines. The union says importing pre-soldered assemblies threatens 200 direct jobs and could cut up to 60% of positions in the segment.
Chaco
Family-owned Grupo Argento SRL has turned a home venture into a food plant in Resistencia with room to scale. Under the “Hecho en Casa” brand, it makes vegan foods for retailers, wholesalers and third-party labels while seeking distribution throughout Chaco.
Formosa
A creativity and innovation workshop at Formosa's Science and Technology Hub paired young developers with five companies to turn real production problems into software. The project belongs to the 2026 Industrial Competitiveness Programme.
San Juan
The San Juan factory acquired in 2017 was operating at 52% of capacity in early 2026 amid falling consumption and higher unit costs. Dismissal notices triggered protests and claims that the first severance proposals were below legal requirements.
