Team Integra celebrated Halloween with their inaugural Halloween Costume Contest on October 31! With first and second place prizes up for grabs we had some exciting costumes and great participation. Even Kingston, the Integra Fabrics mascot, (photographed here as a “Devilish Lab”) joined in on the fun. After meeting for some sweet treats in the lunchroom, all participants marched around the Integra Fabrics building (all 70,000 square feet) so all employees had an opportunity to cast their votes for the winner!

Such a fun day! Congratulations to Ashley G. (Account Executive – Cyndi Lauper) on receiving 2nd place and Marjorie (Fabrication Department – Totally Hippie) on FIRST PLACE! We look forward to more participation and even more competition next Halloween!

Thumbs Up Hilton!

Hilton Worldwide Launches Mattress Recycling Program

Nov 5, 2012

Hilton Worldwide is installing new Serta mattresses and box springs across its portfolio while finding an eco-friendly way to divert old beds from the landfill. A recycling program will turn more than 85 percent of mattresses and box springs into various products. Steel springs will find a new home in tools, cars, and construction materials, while wood will be used for tempered flooring, particle board shelving, and pressed-wood products. In addition, cotton fibers will form oil filters, mats, and stuffing; quit scrap will serve as carpet padding.

Hilton has partnered with DH Hospitality, which will install and remove mattresses, as well as ensure that all bed components are being recycled, not resold or re-covered, by requiring recycling centers to provide a certificate of recycling.

Hotels also will be able to provide additional items during guestroom renovations to Good360, a program that helps identify local nonprofits in need of casegoods.

US Manufacturers Launch Campaign To Reweave America

Coalition to bring Nationwide exposure in an effort to increase US manufacturing jobs and promote economic stimulus in the hospitality industry

LORIS, SC; May 3, 2011 – A multi media campaign developed as a result of the astounding facts surrounding the continuing loss of US manufacturing jobs will launch today in an effort to raise awareness of the need to keep US manufacturing here at home in the USA.

Integra Fabrics, one of South Carolina’s leading manufacturing companies, has joined forces with some of the nation’s most cutting edge manufacturers- Miliken, Fabri-Quilt Hospitality, AirDye Solutions, Wyoming Weavers, Tahoe and Hampton Prints – to bring this initiative to life.

“Over the last 10 years more than 5.5 million manufacturing jobs have been lost in the United States, and more than 40,000 U.S. manufacturing plants closed their doors in 2008 alone putting thousands of people out of work.” Much of this is attributed to Asian mills but the devastation is closer to home as well. “From 1993 to 2003, the US-Mexico trade balance went from a US net positive of $4.9 billion to a US net negative of $40.6 billion.” These facts can no longer go unnoticed and we felt that it was our duty and responsiblity to let people know you do have a choice to choose products made in the USA, and it does make a difference on many levels to our industry, the economy, our neighbors, and the financial stability of our country ” said Debbie McArthur, President of Integra Fabrics.

The new ads will run across a host of platforms including a series of full page ad placements in industry magazines, digital media, a comprehensive social media outreach including facebook, twitter, and linked-in, and other viral marketing which will include engaging the reader with facts and statistics regarding job loss, economic growth opportunites and quality messages.

Integra Fabrics is headquartered in Loris, South Carolina. Founded in 1988, The International Fabric Manufacturer is among South Carolina’s fastest growing manufacturing companies focusing on hospitality, healthcare, and contract fabrics and finished products.
