FOR HUMANKIND
As of January 2023, Milliken Textiles has
removed all PFAS chemistries from our
fibers and finishes. The benefits have
been wide-ranging — our development
of next-generation non-PFAS soil release
technology, for example.
Performance Apparel Fabrics & Workwear | Technical & Functional Fabrics
You Need It, We Have It
Milliken is a unique resource. Along with our wide range of natural, synthetic, and blended performance fabrics, we also share design and technical insight with manufacturers and retail partners.
Supply Chain Efficiency
Domestic manufacturing helps us support our customers with nearshoring efforts and Western Hemisphere supply chains. Close proximity reduces transportation costs, tariff costs, and increases speed to market.
Unmatched Capabilities
All of our manufacturing is vertically integrated. Our fabrics are made in the U.S.A. using sustainable processes. Milliken’s reknowned textile research lab is one of the world’s largest.
Partnerships Make Us Better
Milliken Textiles has long been a leader in protection, performance, and quality. Throughout our 150+ year history, we have partnered with customers to be the first in innovation and fabric technologies.PERFORMANCE KNITS
Long-Lasting Comfort
Synthetic-rich polos are a popular offering in industrial laundries. Knits tend to breathe better, and their natural stretch makes them very comfortable. An advantage of pique knits is that they’re more snag-resistant than other designs.
DURABILITY IS SUSTAINABILITY
Milliken’s long history of caring for the environment began in 1901, with our first recycling policy. It continues today and is woven into everything we do. Our fabrics are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified and use sustainably sourced materials. Another simple way to a greener world: Use less, less often. Extend a product’s useful life and throw fewer things away. We support sustainability by making durable products.
Milliken’s Laundry Service Team
No other company supports laundry service customers the way Milliken does. We will work with you to improve laundry processing, safety, and quality procedures. We do onsite and virtual training, including classes for sales teams. We provide access to lab analysis to help with stains, bleach testing, and more. And we can be a partner to help solve technical, product, or marketing issues. Our Laundry Service Team is unique. Let us help.
Rain or Shine
Over the last two years, Milliken has been a trusted supplier to the U.S. Postal Service, supplying fabrics that are worn by nearly 500,000 USPS employees. Our 65/35 poly cotton uniform fabrics stretch and stay dry, adding comfort for postal carriers, truck drivers, and distribution workers. With a focused effort from our “Rain or Shine” team, four of our new uniform and hat fabrics have received Natick Certification, with five more on the way.
Tough and Sustainable
In 2021, Milliken established a partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA to develop a new line of sustainable uniforms. The new uniform fabric consists of 40% recycled material, 40% virgin polyester, and 20% cotton. The fabric mix includes Unifi ’s REPREVE fiber, which is made with recycled post-consumer plastic bottles. Durable and colorfast, the new uniforms don’t fade — and they’ll withstand just about any activity a troop can come up with.
