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.[5][6]
One year later, the company founded "Club Atlético Ducilo", a sports club for its employees and relatives exclusively, although the club would expand its rules of admission through the years.[7]
Ducilo affiliated to the Hockey Association of Buenos Aires in 1962.[3]
In 2007, the Municipality of Berazategui took over the club's headquarters.[7][8]
In 2015, the Municipality expanded the Ducilo's facilities, adding two rugby union and two football fields.[9][10]
