The DuPont textile manufacturing company opened its first industrial plant in Argentina in 1937,[4] 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.
