Resumo: This article aims to identify and analyze the aspects that drove the spatial concentration of garment firms in Prado, a block located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It also aims to evaluate the competition relationships that firms developed between each other in order to benefit from agglomeration advantages. In this sense, the selection of this research topic is based on two reasons. Firstly, it looks at the potential benefits from the spatial concentration of firms. Secondly, in terms of the local economy, the selected industry is highly representative. Based on 15 interviews with entrepreneurs and individuals from the firms’ local association, it is suggested that the factors that are considered traditional by the literature influenced the localization decision of the firms. In addition, it is found that the cooperative relationships are still incipient. Therefore, the potential competitive advantages based on spatial concentration have not yet accrued to the firms. Finally, the results show that the deterioration of a neighboring cluster benefited the agglomeration of firms in Prado.Key-words: Cluster. Garment firms. Competition relationships interfirms.

También se buscó evaluar de qué forma se establecen las relaciones de competición y principalmente, de cooperación entre firmas en aquella localidad cuando se desea obtener las ventajas de la concentración de empresas, preconizadas en la literatura referente al tema de esa área. La elección de esta temática se fundamentó en dos aspectos principales. Primero en el análisis de los posibles beneficios provenientes de la concentración de empresas; segundo, en la representatividad económica del sector textil y en el caso específico del sector de confecciones. A partir de entrevistas con quince empresarios del ramo y con un representante de la Asociación de Confeccionistas del barrio, se concluyó que factores considerados tradicionales, fueron determinantes para decidir la localización de las empresas. Indicaron también que todavía son incipientes las relaciones de cooperación entre las empresas como para que puedan conseguir ventajas competitivas por la proximidad geográfica. Se constató además, que la deterioración del polo de confecciones del barrio vecino constituyó un elemento propulsor para la migración y concentración que ocurrió en el Prado.Palabras clave: Cluster. Confecciones. Cooperación entre firmas.Este trabalho teve por objetivos identificar e analisar os aspectos que foram determinantes para a concentração de empresas de confecções no Prado, bairro de Belo Horizonte. Buscou, ainda, avaliar como se estabelecem as relações de competição e, principalmente, de cooperação interfirmas naquele local como forma de obter as vantagens da aglomeração preconizadas pela literatura nos estudos desse campo. A escolha da temática foi orientada por dois aspectos principais. Primeiro, pela análise dos possíveis benefícios da aglomeração de empresas e, em segundo lugar, pela representatividade econômica do setor têxtil, no caso específico, do segmento de confecções. Entrevistas com 15 empresários do ramo e com um representante da Associação de confeccionistas do bairro serviram de base para concluir que fatores considerados tradicionais determinaram as decisões sobre a localização das empresas. Indicaram também que ainda são incipientes as relações de cooperação entre as empresas para que elas possam auferir vantagens competitivas pela proximidade geográfica. Adicionalmente, constatou-se que a deterioração do pólo de confecções do bairro vizinho representou elemento propulsor para a migração e a concentração ocorridas no Prado. Palavras-chave: Cluster.
