• Hanesbrands: Large US-based apparel manufacturer with a major hosiery and innerwear portfolio (Hanes, L'eggs, Champion, Bonds). Comparable as a multi-brand hosiery/intimates manufacturer with branded and licensed product lines, though operating at vastly larger global scale.
• Kayser-Roth Corporation: US hosiery manufacturer with brands such as HUE and No Nonsense. Comparable as a hosiery-focused manufacturer serving mass and specialty channels.
