Fashion Job Search Fashion Models Fashion Industry NetworkWestPoint Home's history is longer than most American companies of any kind. The corporation dates back over 200 years through the companies merged into it: J.P. Stevens and Co., Inc. of Massachusetts, a Fortune 500 company for many years; Pepperell Manufacturing Company of Maine; and West Point Manufacturing Company of Georgia. Those are three of the oldest names in the textile industry, each with its own mills, brands and regional identity - Massachusetts, Maine and Georgia being three of the historic centers of American textile manufacturing, from New England woolens and cottons to Southern sheeting.
The brand list carries that heritage into the store. Martex, Stevens and Lady Pepperell are names that appeared on towels and sheets for generations of American households, and they remain the company's own brands. Alongside them, WestPoint Home manufactures under license the Ralph Lauren Home and Charisma lines - licensed brands that let a manufacturer sell a fashion name without owning it, paying the brand owner for the right to produce and distribute under its label.
WestPoint Home belongs in a clothing directory because textiles and apparel share mills, fibers and companies, but its product is the home: towels, sheets and bedding rather than garments. The conglomerate structure - one corporation holding several historic mill companies and brands - is how the American textile industry consolidated as manufacturing moved and brands mattered more than individual mills. A company that can trace itself back over 200 years through J.P. Stevens, Pepperell and West Point Manufacturing is a living record of that consolidation.
