Power Up Your Productivity With AKR Industries - Where Innovation Meets Affordability

Although it’s new to the United States, Tirupur, India-based AKR Textiles is no stranger to the apparel and textile industry. The family-owned business got its start farming cotton in the 1780s for the East India Company, when the country was under British rule. Textile mills and cut-and-sew apparel manufacturing followed. Fast forward to 1994, when it formed AKR and incorporated as a 100-percent export-oriented business, manufacturing garments for major global brands, including H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, Disney, Zara and Calvin Klein. Today, the company owns vertically integrated manufacturing facilities primarily in Asia and Europe, with more than 14,000 employees worldwide.
