In Every Fiber
Unifi and the Path of Sustainability
CLIENT STORY:
This project was a little different, instead of hearing from the author, we were contacted by the marketing team at a textile manufacture in North Carolina. Unifi, Inc. was celebrating their 50 Anniversary in 2022 and they had commissioned author Shona Simpson to write their company history. They asked us to help with the formatting and self-publishing of this book. It’s a fascinating story (350 plus pages) covering social, political and international issues they worked through as they built the business. They were able to document their history with multiple pages of photographs from the early days to the most recent updates, illustrating their product line and equipment changes over the years.
“Fifty years ago, we started making fibers with a new material called polyester. We’ve changed and grown over the years—and so has polyester! But our drive to be tech-savvy innovators—and to serve our customers with the most imaginative solutions we can offer—has never faltered. Better than anyone, we know from experience: True innovation starts in the fiber.”
