Biographical History

Located in Boston, the Northern Textile Association traces its history to 1854, the founding date of a group known variously as the Hampden County Cotton Spinners Association, the Hampden County Mill Agents' Association, or the Hampden County Cotton Manufacturers' Association. In 1865 the name was changed to the New England Cotton Manufacturers' Association (NECMA) and in 1906, in an effort to expand its influence, it became the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers (NACM). In 1953 NACM filed incorporating papers for the Northern Textile Association (NTA) which ran in tandem with NACM. In 1956 NACM members voted to officially change the name to the Northern Textile Association to represent all types of U.S. textile manufacturers. In 2002 a merger with the Knitted Textile Association resulted in its present name: the National Textile Association. NTA represents over 150 textile manufacturers and industry suppliers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. As a non-profit trade organization its mission is to provide representation in Washington, D.C. for a broad range of American fabric companies and to promote the use of American-made fabrics.
