Founded
in 1867, Conso was originally a millinery trimmings company. Formerly
known as Conso Products Co. and headquartered in Union, SC, the
company has recently undergone changes, but remains the largest
manufacturer of decorative trimmings for the home furnishings industry
in the world.
Initially dealing with millinery trimmings for
the fashion industry, Conso adapted to the growing trend of trimmings
in the home. Our products today revolve around the largest selection
of stock items ever offered. Special needs for different sales markets
have led us to manufacture products in a variety of yarns. We use
rayon and acetate, cotton, polyester, UFAC-approved yarns for the
furniture industry and, as of late, less traditional media in trimmings
and accessory products. Raffia; shell; wooden, metal and glass beads;
and even feathers are finding their way into some of our more unusual
designs.
In 2000, Conso merged with Wm. Wright Co., a manufacturer
and marketer of ribbons and trimmings for the apparel, craft and
home decorating consumer market, as well as art and needle products
under the brand name Boye, quilting products under the brand name
EZ Quilting, and Bondex Iron-On products.
The company currently has production facilities
in Coimbatore, India and Shanghai, China. Wm. Wright Co. recently
opened a 350,000 sq.ft. state-of-the-art distribution center in
Nashville, Tennessee where all brands that the company supplies
to the industry are distributed. |
