Honduras plant to take the AEC name

11/02/2014
AEC Narrow Fabrics has announced a name-change for its TESA plant in Honduras.

Santa Bárbara-based TESA was acquired by AEC Narrow Fabrics in April 2012 and has, AEC has said, expanded the group’s product line and development capabilities. Now renamed AEC - Honduras, this operation is focused on the manufacture of jacquard and intimate apparel elastics.

“We are very pleased about the positive changes that have been made at the former TESA plant with regard to capital investment, equipment refurbishing, quality enhancements and lead-time and service-level improvements,” commented Robert Lawson, president of AEC Narrow Fabrics. “These improvements are so comprehensive that most of our customers and visitors say they do not even recognise our Honduran plant as the old TESA. Our new name, AEC - Honduras, acknowledges our improvement investments and aligns our Honduran plant's name more closely with all of our locations.”
