A Profile Of The Textile Manufacturing Industry by Erin Parrish, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The textile manufacturing industry (NAfICS 313) has played an important role in the history of the United States and continues to be a major industrial employer, not only in the US, but also around the world. Textiles are mainly considered a component part of the supply chain, with end uses ranging from apparel to home textiles to industrial goods to medical textiles.
