History of Renfro

Renfro Hosiery Mills Company was founded in 1921 with 25 employees. Today, Renfro employs over 4,500 people worldwide. The company operates manufacturing facilities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and in India, Turkey, Pakistan, and Mexico. It also operates Sales and Distribution Centers in North Carolina, South Carolina, and in Europe, Canada and Mexico.

In 1990, Renfro was awarded the prestigious Class A MRP II manufacturing designation. MRP II is a sophisticated manufacturing planning system and Renfro is the only hosiery manufacturer that has achieved this distinction. The 1996 acquisition of Fruit of the Loom Hosiery Division positioned Renfro to extend its domestic leadership to the rest of the world.

Renfro is leading the development of consumer-based marketing across all retail channels for analysis with consumer-based category management systems. This enhances the Company's ability to identify, market, and manufacture products dedicated to the latest in emerging trends, fashions, and characteristics wanted by consumers.
