Cotton in the ME Bf 109?

On 19 July 1944, the US 8th Air Force bombed Spinnerei & Weberai Kottern (Cotton Spinning and Weaving) of Kempten, Germany.

In an analysis of the bombing, the factory was listed as producing "Me 109 components".

What components for an aircraft would a cotton mill produce? Or had the factory been re-tasked to a wartime industry?

Thanks,
Tom
