1888 Mills has acquired Cambodia Textiles Worldwide (CTW), a premier provider of textile rental and hospitality solutions, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition sees 1888 Mills purchasing CTW, which, through its BLC Textiles brand, operates as a leading manufacturer and distributor of quality products. With 82 years of experience as a family-owned, full-service textile solutions company, CTW specializes in direct manufacturing and distribution-based garment and flat good textile solutions. The company serves diverse sectors, including healthcare, food & beverage, and industrial verticals within the textile rental market, alongside offering high-standard products for hospitality, encompassing toweling, bedding, and spa items.
The strategic rationale behind this acquisition for 1888 Mills lies in expanding its manufacturing capabilities and market footprint. CTW's robust direct manufacturing and global production control, coupled with its extensive distribution network under the BLC Textiles brand, will integrate with 1888 Mills' operations. This move is expected to create significant synergies by enhancing product consistency, quality control, and the ability to develop custom solutions across healthcare apparel, rental uniforms, and hospitality textiles. CTW’s expertise in enduring fabrics for continuous processing, alongside its ultra-soft 100% ring spun cotton products, complements a focus on durable, high-quality textiles.
By bringing CTW into its portfolio, 1888 Mills aims to strengthen its position as a comprehensive textile solutions provider. The combined entity will leverage CTW’s established reputation for controlling the entire production process from design to delivery, ensuring stringent in-house quality audits and hand inspection of garments. This integration is anticipated to improve operational efficiencies and broaden the collective offering, allowing for a more diversified and robust product line for a wider array of customers in the textile rental, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, and workwear verticals.
