The story of Hilos Iris SA de CV began when Nazario Assad Nakur, the founder of our company in northern Mexico, started from humble beginnings and opened a small store called Mercería El Coinor. Initially, he bought finished threads but later decided to save money by acquiring machines to make spools and dye the threads himself. He became a self-taught expert in thread manufacturing.
Hardworking and astute, Nazario traveled with his family in a van to visit other stores in northern Mexico. Through honesty and quality, he built a solid reputation. His three sons, Nazario, Pedro, and Eduardo, grew up with the business, founding Hilos Iris in 1955 and upholding their father's legacy. Over the years, Nazario Sr. continued to personally visit his loyal customers.
Today, Hilos Iris is a world-class, vertically integrated company, led by the third generation, Eduardo and Daniel Assad. Their mission is to always put the customer first. Interestingly, even on road trips during vacations, Nazario would include visits to clients. He would be incredibly proud of what his children have achieved and the ongoing growth of the third generation.
