Textile Industry Trade Consulting Program
PROGRAM 1 Trade consulting: Working on trade issues facing the textile industry is the primary reason NCTO often commissions studies or retains legal and professional services of outside consultants, contract labor, and law firms as needed to research and review these issues. Monitoring market disruption from imports and providing funds for market research and studies to substantiate and remedy such disruptions is an important function of NCTO and is extremely beneficial to the manufacturing members of NCTO in particular. Any beneficial action for manufacturers ultimately benefits suppliers and affiliated members as well. Therefore, this type of service and action benefits all NCTO members to some degree. On behalf of the NCTO members and affiliates, NCTO is an important resource to government on issues affecting the industry.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesApr 1, 2022 – Mar 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided––Textile Industry Public Relations Campaign

There continue to be allied organizations who have partnered with NCTO on this campaign broadening the reach to go well beyond NCTO members only. The objective of engaging multiple organizations is to further spread a more positive message on behalf of the textile industry.To enhance the exposure of the textile industry in the medial, NCTO continues to work with Actualize Studio to maintain a website which was created in 2018 www.textilesinthenews.org showcasing the rebranding efforts as well as a site for the dissemination of artless relating to the textile industry.
