Argos Industrial, Industrial heritage site in Jundiaí, Brazil.

Argos Industrial is a former cotton and wool textile mill in the Vila Arens neighbourhood of Jundiaí, São Paulo. Its brick factory halls, built for the Sociedade Industrial Jundiaiense founded in 1913, now house the municipal education secretariat, the Nelson Foot Municipal Library, the TV TEC station, a language centre and a federal institute campus. The complex is listed at municipal level and by CONDEPHAAT.

The Sociedade Industrial Jundiaiense was founded in 1913 by Italian immigrants Aleardo Borin and Luiz Trevisioli to weave cotton and wool, and soon received major capital from Ernesto Diederichsen of the coffee trading house Companhia Wille. As Argos Industrial it became one of Brazil's largest textile mills and Jundiaí's biggest employer until the 1930s. Internal crises and poor management led to bankruptcy in June 1984.

The name Argos comes from the company Argos Industrial S/A, whose mill was the flagship of Jundiaí's textile production for decades. Its gabardines and the olive-green fabric made for the Brazilian Army are the products locals still associate with the plant. The complex now houses the Municipal Library Nelson Foot, the Education Secretariat and a Federal Institute campus.

The Complexo Argos occupies the former textile works in the Vila Arens neighbourhood of Jundiaí. It now houses the municipal education secretariat, the Nelson Foot Municipal Library, the TV TEC station, a language centre, a federal institute campus and a centre for the elderly. Visitors reach the library and other public services during their opening hours; the surrounding streets are urban and served by city transport.

The olive-green fabric woven here for Brazilian Army uniforms gave the mill a national reach beyond Jundiaí. Its 1984 bankruptcy ended a textile operation that had run since 1913, and the complex later became a public education and library hub.
