History
The DuPont textile manufacturing company opened its first industrial plant in Argentina in 1937,"Dupont en Argentina" on DuPont Argentina website after acquiring a farm to the Stanfield family of Berazategui. As the plant would produce threads ("hilo" in Spanish) the company thought of a name related. After rejecting some ideas (like "Duhilo"), finally the name "Ducilo" was adopted to start the company's activities in the country.75° aniversario de Ducilo by David Iurescia on El Quilmeño blogDucilo: a 75 años, El Sol, 8 Jul 2012
