Textiles

An Asheboro textile company that's been in business for over a century has been pivoting away from its once signature product. For years, Acme-McCrary thrived on manufacturing sheer pantyhose. It was steady work and always in demand. But when that industry began to decline, the company decided to shift to a new type of apparel. The Triad Business Journal's Katie Arcieri has been reporting on their transition. For this week's business report, she tells WFDD's Emily McCord that they're going seamless. 

It was a shorter week in business due to the Memorial Day holiday, but there were still plenty of news items that impact the Triad.
