It combines the superior characteristics of natural cottonusing the latest spunlace nonwovens technology.

Ihsan has alsoreceived the “Seal of Cotton” trademark license from Cotton Inc. certifying the use of 100% cotton in its products. The company is the only non-U.S. company to receive this license. Additionally, Ihsan has received the “Cotton USA Mark” license from Cotton County International (CCI).

In terms of future investments, Ihsan plans to commercialize another spunlace line in the next three to five years and has already allotted space for this addition in its current facility. “We are seeking gradual and continuous growth through our market and product development strategies,” stated Moeen Naseer, marketing manager. “We are making sure to reach customers all over the world including neglected markets. This is in addition to working with key customers in our traditional U.S. and European markets. We want to cater to the needs and requirements of nonwoven converters who are opting for cotton, organic cotton or fair-trade cotton spunlace and want to be the number one supplier of all their spunlace needs.”
