Eduardo Castillo, known by his friends as EC, Owner and CEO of Cala Brush Supply and Grupo Interoceanico Cala, said that this business started due to his empathy for the farmers that harvested Agave Lechuguilla in the North East of Mexico: the only place in the world where this fiber grows.  He explained that, in the beginning, he was moved by their poor circumstances and acted against that by offering better labor conditions to the harvesters in a socially responsible way based upon his knowledge and perfect care of sustainable conditions.

  

“Cala Brush Supply does not harm any ecosystem when producing its product and offers certification of that,” he stated. “In this company, we support the farmers and their families in this semi-desert region to ensure that they live in healthier and improved conditions and are sustained in work throughout the whole year. Therefore, each family, with a steady life, is also in a safer financial position.” In fact, he states that the improvements have resulted in a 400% increase in wages in the past 20 years.

Eduardo Castillo instilled much better growing and harvesting techniques, such as resting and rotating the crop in different areas, that ensured the continued and healthier life of the plants, thereby increasing the quality of the harvest. “The concept of a better quality of life, sewn in the harvester’s minds, grows to help their customers receive a better product. As is shown in many other tasks in the world, when labor has a more steady financial outcome, it results in a better product, and that is what Cala Brush supplies to its customers: the best quality harvested material with less short fibers, less broken fibers or scrap material and with the best beneficial price in the market. Tests show that there are less than 0.0014 percent of defects in its products and Cala Brush offers a certificate to that effect.” He indicated.

Cala Brush Supply covers an area of over 8 million kilometers and is involved with over 5,000 harvesters, offering better control of their growing methods.

 

“The natural color of the fiber is creamy white but is often dyed other colors. Tampico fiber has great liquid retention-and-release properties - it will absorb 65% more water than plastic fillings. It has a unique surface roughness due to crystals of calcium oxalate embedded in the surface. There is no plastic substitute for Tampico fiber”, Eduardo assured us.

The fiber is unsurpassed in most general sweeping applications and in all applications requiring liquid retention, scrubbing and surface finishing.

Cala Brush Supply has three points in its company philosophy which are:

Cala Brush Supply quickly learns from its customers the details and fibre properties needed for their product requirements in order to deliver the best quality natural Tampico Fibre for easy assembly on even the fastest stapling machines

 

Cala Brush Supply masters the productive capacity by controlling the harvesting and production methods used, ensuring the best quality of their fibers and reliability of delivery dates.

 

Top quality, dust-proof plastic covers are used to protect the fibers and assure the long-lasting condition of the material during storage or humid conditions. This does not diminish the abrasive and absorbent capacity of the fibre.  Due to this strict control and high-level support for the workers, the product is rarely low and, therefore, delivery dates are to be relied upon.

 

Cala Brush supply invites you to be part of the relaxed atmosphere where the staff will help you be in control of your products and avoid the long waiting list as do all their customers in over 42 countries worldwide.
