The Egyptian Cotton Hub (ECH) has joined ITMF (International Textile Manufacturers Federation) as a corporate member. ECH is a subsidiary of the Cotton & Textile Industries Holding Company (CTIHC), followed by the Ministry of Public Business Sector. Egypt’s first public sector factories & companies started in the 1920s. This grew to thirty-three factories.
Each factory has a rich history and deep heritage, with more than a century of textile experience. These factories have been merged into nine companies located across Egypt. ECH is the marketing and sales arm of CTIHC. The company manufactures a wide range of products covering everything from yarns to finished garments including medical cotton. Furthermore, it also owns two different brands NIT and MEHALLA to serve a wide range of customers with a variety of products, according to a press release by ITMF.
