Founded in 1865, the US-based Milliken & Co. has completed 150 years in the textiles business. Talking about the tough times faced by the company and how it overcame it, Joe Salley, President and CEO of Milliken & Co. said, “Not long ago, this company faced a tremendous challenge. Most textile companies were choosing to either go overseas or go out of business. We found a way to not only survive, but to thrive.”
“From our early beginnings as a general store, we have transformed from an investor to manufacturer to innovator in operations and R&D. That enables the development of products and services that can change how we think about textiles, performance materials, etc.,” Salley added.
