Reshoring Textiles buys Sans Fibers

Reshoring Textiles has acquired North Carolina-based Sans Technical Fibers, adding US production of high-tenacity nylon 6.6 and polyester yarns to its portfolio.

Sans will operate as a sister company to Spinnere, another Reshoring Textiles business. John Garner has been appointed Sans chief executive, while Robert Antoshak becomes chief marketing officer of the parent company.

The acquisition adds domestic filament capacity for technical and specialist uses, including sewing thread and industrial textiles. Sans, based in Stoneville, North Carolina, has supplied high-tenacity filaments for more than two decades.

“Customers need reliable long-term domestic sources of the raw materials their products require,” said Josh Nieuwsma, chief executive of Reshoring Textiles.

Sans says it manufactures in North Carolina using US-made raw materials and holds ISO 9001 certification. Its yarns serve apparel, footwear, medical, military, automotive and manufactured-rubber markets.

The companies did not disclose financial terms. Reshoring Textiles said Sans will expand the group’s supply of domestically produced materials for manufacturers.
