Regal Manufacturing Company began the manufacture of covered elastic yarn in July, 1956. After years of experience in the manufacture of covered yarns for men's, women's and children's socks, we pioneered the use of another new generation of covered elastic yarns in ladies hosiery in the early 1960's. Those new yarns provided improved comfort and fit, as well as enhanced durability, and helped provide for the explosion in panty hose usage that was to follow.

 

Covered elastic yarns are produced by wrapping nylon, polyester, cotton, or other fibers around spandex or latex rubber.

Today, Regal Manufacturing Company produces and sells engineered covered yarns for use in men's, women's, and children's woven and knit apparel with " stretch" , active and athletic wear, swimwear, sweaters, body suits and intimate apparel, sheer and opaque ladies hosiery, as well as men's, women's, and children's dress socks and sport socks.

Products featuring our yarns are sold by all major retailers and department stores throughout the U.S., and through many fine retail outlets around the world.

Through collaboration with designers and our customers, our continuously expanding and changing product line of covered yarn is reacting to today's and tomorrow's needs.

 

Every day of the year, cross-functional teams work toward continuous improvement of our manufacturing processes, and development of new products.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Worldtex, Inc., one of the world's largest producers of elastic yarns, Regal is able to use the synergies and creative developments of our subsidiary companies to serve our customer's needs in a way that is unmatched. Those companies, Filix Lastex, based in France; Rubyco, of Canada; and Fibrexa Ltda, of Colombia combine with Regal Manufacturing Company to provide a world wide perspective of product use and regional diversity that is unique in our field.
