What’s New at Glen Raven
Founded in 1880, Glen Raven hasn’t stopped innovating since. Our approach is simple: elevate the customer experience by addressing their unmet needs.

From deepening our existing portfolio to expanding into new territories, we innovate with purpose—solving real problems, expanding access, pushing boundaries, and helping our customers achieve more than they thought possible.
Our Creations Started On The Drawing Board Waiting For Thread To Meet The Needle
In the 1950s, the wife of Glen Raven’s President proposed a pair of stockings that were one piece, like a pair of pants. They took this idea to the sewing machine and created “Panti-Legs”, today globally known as pantyhose.
These sparks of ingenuity guided our company forward. They helped expand into our brands and subsidiaries that encourage the creative and collaborative passions carried by our weavers.
