OUR HISTORY

At 1888 Mills, we proudly honor
our history and those who played
key roles in creating the company
we proudly run today - a company
with a deep heritage in textile manufacturing. Our story begins
in 1888, when towels were first
produced in Griffin, Georgia,
by Kincaid Manufacturing. Later,
in 1925, Shelnor-Mills was formed,
marking the creation of two great
companies that would later
become one. An expansion to
overseas facilities followed
from 1972-1989, which then
officially evolved into
1888 Mills Global in 1996.
