US-based Milliken & Company has acquired one of the Frontier yarn plants.

It’s worth noting here that Frontier’s plant was previously acquired by Gildan Activewear in 2021.

The acquisition expands Milliken’s open-end yarn production for its protective fabrics, workwear, government and defence, industrial and napery textile business units.

“Investing in this plant enhances the agility of Milliken’s textile business and shores up our supply chain in the USA to benefit our customers. Guided by integrity and excellence in all we do, this move bolsters our supply chains to enhance customer service,” commented Halsey Cook, CEO and President, Milliken.

The Frontier Spinning Plant 3 will be renamed the Two Rivers Plant and it will become a spinning hub for Milliken.

Multiple Milliken textile plants throughout the South-East of America will source their yarn needs from it.

“Adding this plant to the Milliken manufacturing footprint helps us meet current production needs and offers additional capacity for future growth. The expansion helps us create a resilient supply chain that offers consistency and surety for both our product lines and customers,” mentioned Kevin Brown, Senior Vice President of Global Operations for Milliken’s Textile Business.
