These products are supplied to other yarn manufacturers, knitters, and weavers for the creation of fabrics used in apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial, and various other end markets. The Nylon segment focuses on delivering virgin and recycled yarns, including textured, solution-dyed, and spandex-covered varieties, primarily to knitters and weavers who craft textiles for the apparel, hosiery, and medical sectors. Both the Brazil and Asia segments are dedicated to manufacturing and selling polyester-based products. Their customers include knitters and weavers who produce fabrics for applications in apparel, home furnishings, automotive, industrial, and other diverse markets. Unifi distributes its products, marketed under brands such as REPREVE and PROFIBER, through a combination of its own sales team and independent agents.
