Glen Raven Renames Division To Reflect Broader CapabilitiesGlen Raven Inc., Glen Raven, N.C., has
changed the name of its Burnsville, N.C.-based Filament Fabrics division to Glen Raven Technical
Fabrics LLC. We felt Technical Fabrics more aptly captured what we are all about, said T. Scott
Gillam Jr., division president. Through our internal and external partnerships, we are capable of
providing solutions for most fabric requirements.We have a state-of-the-art fabric mill capable of
producing fabrics in deniers [d] from 30d to 2,500d. Obviously we have plain weaves, but also offer
our customers patterns in a full spectrum of tightness from mesh to very low air permeability, he
added.
