Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “Unifi,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a multi-national manufacturing company that sells innovative synthetic and recycled yarns made from polyester and nylon to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive upholstery, industrial and other end-use markets. The Company’s polyester products include plastic bottle flake, polyester polymer beads (“Chip”), partially oriented yarn (“POY”), and textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns. Each yarn product is available in virgin or recycled varieties, where the recycled is made from both pre-consumer yarn waste and post-consumer waste, including plastic bottles. The Company’s nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered products.

The Company maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings that include specialized yarns, premium value-added (“PVA”) yarns and commodity yarns, with its principal geographic markets in the Americas and Asia.

The Company has manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States, the most significant of which is a 34% non-controlling partnership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”), a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile industry and apparel market, both foreign and domestic.
