FILMAR NILE TEXTILE

Filmar Network is the synergetic effort of two industrial groups (Filmar, Filmar NileTextile) producers of highest quality cotton yarns.
Filmar Nile Textile is based in Egypt since 2006. A vertically integrated and inclusive business model that connects the agricultural activities developed by Egyptian farmers in over 100 hectares of land in the delta of the Nile, to the industrial spinning and dyeing of cotton carried out in Filmar Nile Textile in Borg el Arab near Alexandria of Egypt.

The best quality cotton in fact originates from here, where the silt and water of the “great river” make this land extremely fertile. Cotton plants prosper thanks to the combination of the river water, the hot Egyptian sun and the dry climate of the nearby desert areas. It is the same water of the Nile, along with the salt of the nearby Medi­terranean, which is used by Filmar for finishing the raw material.
