Its subject is the cluster of textile and garment production of the Medium Itajai Valley, in Santa Catarina, and its empirical basis are the results of interviews in institutions and in 22 enterprises, mostly of small and medium size, operating in Blumenau and Brusque, the region’s main cities. The article looks firstly at industrial clusters in broad terms. Secondly, it describes the textile and garment production cluster of the Medium Itajai Valley. Thirdly, it approaches some local features concerning work force, social and cultural background, institutions and the problem of cooperation among agents.
