Two U.S. Retailers Visit El Salvador and Guatemala

Nordstrom and Pacific Sunwear met with top garment and fabric makers in El Salvador and Guatamala that offer U.S. cotton-rich pants and knitted tops for women, children and men.

Retailers also visited printing and dyeing/finishing operations in both countries.

The CBI Region is an excellent sourcing option for U.S. retailers for its proximity to the U.S. market and for its duty-free advantage under CAFTA.

Several U.S. mills that are part of the COTTON USA Sourcing Program participated in the event: Buhler Quality Yarns Corp, Carolina Cotton Works, Contempora Fabrics, Frontier Spinning Mills; Parkdale and Tuscarora Yarns, Inc.

  In pursuit of stronger business within the region, the COTTON USA Sourcing Program brought together 11 U.S. mills, ten uniform retailers, eight fashion retailers and 44 apparel manufacturing companies from Mexico and the Andean and Central American regions for the Sourcing Fair.

The event included a conference session with a panel of experts who addressed important textile and apparel trade issues such as: the cotton price situation, the relevance of sustainability for the textile industry and U.S. market outlook and trends.

The conference benefited from presentations by Alston & Bird LLP, International Development Systems, Yiyang Trading LLC, Wakelyn Associates, LLC and the O'Rourke Group Partners. Following the seminar, participating U.S. mills and retailers met with CBI, Mexican and Andean textile and apparel executives in private meetings to discuss business opportunities.

Some 700 individual meetings took place, resulting in an efficient and productive Sourcing Fair. Cotton Incorporated supported the event with a mini-stand, presenting cotton product developments.
