Meridian Specialty Yarn Group Inc. (MSYG), based in North Carolina, announced that Keith Horn has joined the company as vice president of manufacturing for its Ranlo plant.
Horn brings more than 30 years of experience in worsted wool spinning operations. In this role, he will lead manufacturing operations at Ranlo, with a focus on strengthening operational performance and maintaining consistent product quality.
“We are pleased to welcome Keith to MSYG,” says Tim Manson, president. “His deep experience in long staple and worsted spinning, combined with his proven manufacturing leadership, will be an important asset as we continue to improve the capabilities and performance of our Ranlo operation.”
MSYG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Meridian Industries Inc. of Milwaukee, Wis., is one of five operating companies within the Meridian organization and operates two textile facilities in North Carolina.
The Ranlo plant is a long staple worsted spinning operation that produces worsted counts from 1s to 36s in singles or plied yarns. The facility also produces hollow spindle and fancy twist bouclé yarns, primarily from synthetic fibers, as well as air-jet textured yarns. Meridian Mill House, MSYG’s luxury craft business, also is housed at the Ranlo facility.
MSYG supplies products for hosiery and apparel, home furnishings and upholstery, industrial, military, medical, craft and other textile markets.
