Denim leader Artistic Milliners has commenced production at AM Mexico, its latest production facility in Parras, Mexico.

The unit specialises in producing and washing jeans and is already bringing an unmatched level of innovation and service to North American customers. It features cutting-edge automation across cutting, sewing, finishing and laundry operations, delivering unmatched efficiency, precision and consistent quality. Integrated machinery and technology is from leaders such as Lectra, Jeanologia, Tonello, C Tex, IMA, Morgan, Tajima, Hashima, Sip-Italy, Smart MRT and Triveneta.

 In April, AM Mexico and Los Angeles-based sister company Star Fades International (SFI) announced a partnership with The Lycra Company to offer Lycra FitSense denim technology for the first time in North America.

“The opening of AM Mexico is the culmination of years of investment and commitments to Artistic Milliners customers, who from day one supported our vision to offer them multi-country and multi-category products,” said Murtaza Ahmed, Artistic Milliners CEO. “They now have a denim factory in this region that meets and exceeds their expectations for product creation and automation.”

AM Mexico is situated on a ten-acre site, featuring a 150,000-square-foot production floor which was acquired in 2024 from Dickies and has undergone significant upgrades.

Pakistan-headquartered Artistic has a growing network in the Western Hemisphere, which includes SFI and Star Fades Studios in the USA, its SFI factory in Guatemala and strategic partners such as Cone Denim, which also has a factory in Parras.

“By tapping into this network, our brand partners can accelerate their development and production timelines,” said Omer Ahmed, Artistic Milliners MD. “AM Mexico will shave up to 13 weeks off delivery timelines and it also unlocks the benefits of reduced risk and supply chain resilience.”
