Unifi, Inc. · Greensboro, NC United States ·(NYSE: UFI)

Unifi has spun more yarns than Mark Twain. The company is involved in texturing, dyeing, and twisting polyester and nylon yarns. Unifi's polyester yarns are sold to knitters and weavers that make apparel, industrial, home furnishing, and auto upholstery fabrics. Nylon yarns are used to make apparel, hosiery, and socks. It buys unfinished yarn, usually in the form of raw polyester or nylon filament fiber, and treats it to draw out various physical qualities, depending on the yarn's use. Most of the raw materials are purchased from DuPont. Sluggish yarn sales and falling average unit prices continue to shrink Unifi's net sales. The company gets around 80% of its sales in the US. To read the full description, subscribe now.
