CCI hosts tour of US for uniform manufacturers

As a part of its Cotton USA sourcing program, Cotton Council International (CCI), the export promotion arm of the National Cotton Council of America (NCC), hosted the Western Hemisphere uniform manufacturers tour to the US last week. The goal of the program was to expand business between US mills and the uniform industry, a key developing market for US yarn and fabrics, according to Vaughn Jordan, deputy director of CCI and director, Western Hemisphere, CCI.

Thirty-nine companies from the US and Latin America kicked off the event with a seminar and trade fair on September 20 before breaking up into groups to tour US textile manufacturers in five states viz North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and California. The tour is a signature event of the sourcing program which seeks to develop business relationships throughout the cotton textile and apparel chain with the objective of increasing exports of US-manufactured cotton products to the Western Hemisphere.

Participants included seven US uniform-buying companies, 13 US yarn and fabric mills and 19 uniform manufacturers from Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru.
