The textile industry worldwide is in a process of readjustment, and this includes the North American industry, especially the United States. The US textile industry is exploring new supply channels in response to local, national, and global needs it faces. Latin American Textiles is the answer.
One strategy that has influenced this shift is nearshoring, where services are provided from nearby countries, reducing geographical distances and minimizing delivery times and border barriers. Nearshoring takes advantage of cultural and linguistic affinities, as well as the low production and living costs of emerging economies, to work with organizations and countries that are committed to addressing sustainability challenges.
Another strategy for adaptation has been friendshoring, which develops supply chains by grouping and prioritizing business relationships with companies in partner territories that share similar values and principles, in order to expand market access and reduce economic risks, thus offering greater long-term stability for Latin American Textiles.
The impact of globalization – Latin American Textiles
Nearshoring and friendshoring play a key role in the textile industry in Latin America, an industry that offers high quality solutions for the production of yarns, fabrics, and garments. Within Latin America, the Colombian textile industry has significant manufacturing experience, supplying to brands such as Disney, Adidas, Universal Studios, Cintas, and others, offering quality and market competitiveness.
