New Textile Mill Up & Running
Economists Across The Belt Point To Encouraging
Market Signals For 2010
Carroll Smith
Mill Called 'The Real Deal'
Last December, Zagis USA hosted a grand opening ceremony attended by president and CEO Dan Deibus, the Zaga family, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, elected officials and other interested visitors, including Louisiana cotton producer Jack Dailey and Jess Barr, Louisiana Cotton and Grain Association executive director.
Dailey, who has toured many textile mills over the years, called Lacassine I "the real deal." He noted that while some U.S. mills may have been updated, the Lacassine facility was built for state-of-the-art equipment from the ground up.
"Their base cotton quality requirements are not anything out of reach for Louisiana in most years," Dailey says. "The fact that the mill has to buy a certain percentage of Louisiana cotton is a positive for us as producers, and we can provide a good transportation advantage, too. Also, there is the possibility that the company could use Louisiana warehouses to store some of its cotton.
