Cotton Incorporated’s Mexico City office celebrates 10th anniversary

16/11/2005
Cotton Incorporated is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Mexico City office, the first office of its kind for the cotton industry, servicing textile mills and manufacturers in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Basin and South America.

To celebrate a decade of accomplishments, the Mexico City office hosted Latin American textile industry members at the Franz Mayer Museum on November 16 for cocktails, dinner and a presentation of fabric developments by Cotton Incorporated.

According to the company, the Mexico City office has been instrumental in establishing relationships with key textile mills in the region during the last 10 years. The office currently offers a variety of services ranging from fibre economics, fibre quality, fibre processing, dyeing and finishing, fabric development and apparel, and home fashion trend forecasting.
The Mexico City office has initiated new services in the last 10 years, which include giving specialised training to over 600 technicians at four Cotton Technical Conferences (COTTECH) and the Cotton Forum attended by over 500 industry members. It has also assisted seven major Mexican textile mills with the EFS system to maintain a higher level of bale management. In addition, it has been integral in making the Cotton Incorporated seal recognised by 70% of the Mexican population and holds over 165 Seal of Cotton licences.
Cotton Incorporated, funded by US growers of upland cotton and importers of cotton and cotton textile products, is the research and marketing company representing upland cotton.
