Nature of Operations [Text Block] | 1. Background Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “we”, the “Company” or “Unifi”), is a multi-national manufacturing company that processes and sells high-volume commodity yarns, specialized yarns designed to meet certain customer specifications, and premier value-added (“PVA”) yarns with enhanced performance characteristics. The Company sells yarns made from polyester and nylon to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive upholstery, industrial and other end-use markets. The Company’s polyester products include polyester polymer beads (“Chip”), partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns; each is available in virgin or recycled varieties (the latter made from both pre-consumer yarn waste and post-consumer waste, including plastic bottles). The Company’s nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered products. The Company maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings, and has ten manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s principal geographic markets for its products are located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“China”) focused on the sale and promotion of the Company’s PVA and other specialty products in the Asian textile market, primarily in China, as well as in the European market. In addition to the Company’s operations described above, the Company’s investments include, but are not limited to, (i) a 60% controlling membership interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”), an agricultural company focused on the development, production and commercialization of dedicated biomass feedstock for use in the animal bedding, bio-energy and other bio-based products markets; and (ii) a 34% non-controlling partnership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”), a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile industry and apparel market, both foreign and domestic.
