The finest cotton in the world: SUPIMA®

Supima® Cotton is a type of extra-long staple cotton grown in the United States. With an annual production of 450,000 bales, Supima® cotton represents 0.4% of total cotton production. Due to its exclusive characteristics, it is considered one of the finest cottons in the world.

Its technical features include strength, softness, and color retention. Additionally, Supima® cotton seeds are considered a more ecological choice, eliminating the need for artificial chemical pesticides or herbicides. Only natural-origin pesticides are used, carefully applied to the plants.

Machine harvesting with Pickers ensures the absence of fibrils or other materials, guaranteeing no contamination of the cotton fiber.

Cotton Ginning is a crucial phase in the processing cycle. During this stage, raw cotton is cleaned of impurities such as seeds and leaves using ginning machines that separate and open the fibers. This ensures the production of clean cotton fibers ready for the subsequent stages of yarn production.

The ginning facility not only cleans and separates the fiber from the stem but also recovers the seeds, which will be replanted in the next growing season.

Thanks to the excellent quality of Supima® cotton, it is possible to obtain a wide range of products.
