On our 74th anniversary, we look back with pride at the achievements we have made and the impact we have had on the textile industry. From our beginnings, we have evolved to become a leader in the sector, standing out for our commitment to innovation and excellence. This progress has been possible thanks to the talent and dedication of our employees, whom we support with activities and continuous training programs to develop their skills and enhance their talent.
Close collaboration with our customers has been essential to our success. Together, we develop high-quality textiles that not only meet, but exceed expectations. Our ability to understand and anticipate market needs has allowed us to create textile solutions that drive our customers' brands forward, positioning them as industry leaders. Protela is a space where we grow with new clients and brands, accompanying them in their creative process, growth and expansion, offering them support and experience to achieve their goals.
One of our greatest achievements is our unwavering commitment to sustainability. At Protela, we believe in a future where the textile industry can coexist harmoniously with the environment. Our two industrial water treatment plants (WWTP) have enabled responsible water management, saving 969,354 m³ and reusing 60% of the water used. In addition, we have implemented a cogeneration plant that has reduced our energy consumption by 3,835,240 KW, demonstrating our leadership in sustainable practices.

We deeply value teamwork and constant collaboration with our customers; this close relationship has allowed us not only to achieve our goals, but also to exceed them, creating a positive and lasting impact on the textile industry.
We celebrate these 74 years with pride and gratitude, recognizing the effort and dedication of all those who have been part of this journey.
