A new online resource launched by North Carolina State University in partnership with the N.C. Department of Commerce aims to bolster the state's textile industry by connecting North Carolina companies with each other and to other markets across the United States and around the globe.
N.C. Textile Connect is a comprehensive Web site designed to foster and encourage business partnerships among textile companies within North Carolina and beyond. It also provides valuable information to prospective customers within the state, inside the United States and abroad.
N.C. Textile Connect offers a database of more than 1,500 North Carolina-based textile and textile-related companies that specialize in various aspects of the industry value chain. The value chain represents the entire group of companies involved in textile production, from design and raw materials to marketing finished products.
The Web site provides business leaders with information related to companies that specialize in areas such as raw materials, design, manufacturing, production, distribution, sales and support, and other efforts related to the textile industry.
Although the textile industry has undergone a major restructuring in the past decade, it continues to be an important industry for North Carolina, and the state still plays a significant role in the global textiles arena. N.C.
Commerce Department-funded research conducted by NC State in 2006, titled "State of the Union of the Textile Industry in North Carolina," showed that the state still ranks first nationally in the number of employees in textile production and fourth nationally in apparel production.
The 2006 study also showed that textile-related businesses still have a presence in 90 of North Carolina's 100 counties, employ more than 130,000 North Carolinians and have more than $35 billion in annual sales.
The new Web site includes detailed information on events, statistics, demographics, resources and products related to the textile industry. The information comes from a variety of sources, including academic, industry and government agencies.
