Fábrica de Manufacturas Sumar, Textile manufacturing complex in San Joaquín, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile.

The industrial facility spans multiple buildings dedicated to cotton spinning and fabric production, with machinery for synthetic fiber manufacturing.

Founded in 1946 by Palestinian immigrant Salomón Sumar, the factory introduced the first nylon production line in South America during 1957.

The factory included residential buildings known as Población Sumar, constructed specifically to house the workforce and their families.

The industrial complex transformed into a shopping center in 2016, featuring forty stores while maintaining its original architectural elements.

Military helicopters monitored the facility during the 1973 coup due to the high concentration of union leaders within its premises.
