American Textile Manufacturers Institute

The American Textile Manufacturers Institute (ATMI) was a trade association representing the U.S. textile industry. Established in 1892, it aimed to support and promote the interests of textile manufacturers through advocacy, research, and education. ATMI worked on issues like trade policies, technology innovations, and labor standards, helping the industry navigate challenges such as global competition. While the organization has since merged with others to form the American Manufacturing Association, its legacy continues to influence the textile sector's development and advocacy efforts in maintaining a competitive edge in the economy.
