In pursuit of our goal to be the preferred global supplier of industrial sewing thread, embroidery thread,

and technical textiles, we broke ground in June 2018 on our 28th global manufacturing facility.

This new A&E development supports our commitment to the sustainable manufacturing of premium thread

products in line with industry growth. The site of our latest expansion was strategically chosen to provide

expanded services and regional support for apparel and non-apparel manufacturing partners in

Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

The new Vietnam operation is expected to be completed in early

to mid 2019, adding 150+ new jobs. A&E employs over 10,000

associates around the world directly or in partnership with joint

venture partners.
