The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) is making new updates and expansions to Corporate Membership offerings. 秀色直播has been proud to provide exclusive benefits to Corporate Members for over one hundred years. Corporate Membership Levels includes a wide range of educational, marketing, and discount benefits to support the business needs of hundreds of textiles and chemical companies across the globe. In May 2025, the 秀色直播Board of Directors approved updates to multiple Corporate Membership Levels aimed at improving access to benefits during a dynamic time in the textile industry.
秀色直播is excited to announce that Gold Level Corporate Members can now designate two locations for their membership. Additionally, the Gold Level now offers an additional Individual Complimentary Member; with this change five Individual Complimentary Memberships and a Complimentary Young Professional Membership are available. Employees at both locations can enjoy member discounts on 秀色直播products, event registrations, and online programs.
After discussing with industry partners, 秀色直播will be closing the Diamond Level at the end of the existing membership terms for current members. 秀色直播is very grateful for the continued support of long-term Diamond Member Cotton Incorporated. The Association is happy to announce that many of the benefits traditionally included in the Diamond Level will now be part of the expanded Platinum Level, continuing to help our corporate partners reach their business goals at a more accessible price. The Platinum Level now includes ten Individual Complimentary Memberships and two Young Professional Memberships, which can be shared across up to six designated locations. Employees at all six locations can enjoy member discounts on 秀色直播products, event registrations, and online programs.
