What Coteminas does

Coteminas S.A. (Companhia de Tecidos Norte de Minas) is a Brazilian vertically integrated textile manufacturer founded in 1967 and headquartered in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a complete portfolio of home textile products — bed linens, table linens, bath linens, decorative textiles, utility bedding (pillows, mattress protectors, quilts, coverlets), and intermediate yarns and fabrics — across South America (Brazil and Argentina) and North America (USA and Canada) under the brands Artex, MMartan, Casa Moysés, licensed Santista, and Argentine brands Palette, Arco-íris, and Fantasia. Coteminas operates 10 production facilities (9 in Brazil spanning Montes Claros, Natal, Macaíba, Campina Grande, João Pessoa, and Blumenau, and 1 in La Banda, Santiago del Estero, Argentina) with full vertical integration from spinning through weaving, dyeing, printing, finishing, and confection.

Coteminas functions as a closed operating subsidiary of Springs Global Participações S.A., the holding company formed in 2006 when Coteminas and US-based Springs Industries Inc. contributed their respective bed and bath businesses to combine low-cost Brazilian manufacturing with North American distribution and brand assets. Springs Global listed on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA on 27 July 2007. The company employs between 5,001 and 10,000 people and serves consumer retail (B2C through monobrand stores and franchises, including a digital franchise launched in 2018), mass-market wholesale to major South American retailers, the hospitality industry through a dedicated professional line, and small/medium garment manufacturers via its intermediate yarns and fabrics.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of finished textile products across owned and licensed brands plus licensing royalties from the Santista brand. Pricing is quote-based B2B and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is multi-channel: wholesale to retailers, monobrand retail (MMartan since 2009, Artex stores since 2011, franchises since 2015, digital franchise since 2018), direct sales for the hospitality/professional line, and intermediate B2B sales to apparel manufacturers. Following the March 2019 combination of Springs US with Keeco Holdings, Coteminas retained a 17.5% equity stake in the combined North American entity while its core operations remain in the Americas bed and bath home textile segment.
