We are Darling Fibers, and We Are Home.
In 2020, we restarted manufacturing lines that powered the industry’s number one brand for decades, and rekindled a commitment to service and collaboration that delivers what you’d expect from a smart domestic supplier. And we are doing it with the future in focus.
Darlington, SC
As one of the largest domestic producers of high-quality polyester staple fiber for the fabric, garment, and fashion industries, we’re harnessing one million square feet of manufacturing space and a strong legacy of quality and service to reimagine our company and the products you make for the circular economy and beyond.
Our Products
Our ambition is as robust as our capacity. With 12 manufacturing lines, we have room to produce a diverse mix of polyester chip and fiber, from legacy staple fiber to polyester that pushes the limits on carbon neutral, recycled, bio-based, and next generation biodegradable.
Darling Fibers can offer a range of 0.9 – 15 dpf staple products in Superwhite and Semi-dull OB for Knits, wovens, nonwovens and high-loft applications.
