Alba-Waldensian, Inc. company history timeline

1928

Meanwhile, the development of a similar company offered Waldensian Hosiery Mills more than a bit of competition: incorporated as Pilot Fashion Mills in June 1928, this company also produced women’s undergarments, and sold their products at prices matching those of Waldensian Hosiery.

1976

In 1976 the company obtained part of Shelby Seamless Hosiery Mills and, that same year, acquired 50 percent of a company called Alba-Eiser, Inc.

1980

Alba-Waldensian had, then, by the end of the 1980’s become better known for its material than its designs or styles, though it continued through its womenswear marketing to emphasize comfort and wearability.

1992

In 1992 Alba-Waldensian’s Consumer Products Division experienced a great boon through the acquisition of the United States operations of Byford Apparel.

1994

In 1994, in order to gain more label recognition for its many apparel brands, the company opened its first outlet store, in the Factory Merchants Outlet mall in Branson, Missouri.

1996

Due to a variety of factors, 1996 was a particularly difficult year for Alba-Waldensian.

Mortenson began an aggressive campaign to bring his company back to an acceptable level of profitability, making the slump of 1996 short-lived.

1999

In 1999 the company’s Health Products Division was granted an exclusive three-year contract with a company called Novation, which offered medical supplies to such clients as VHA Inc. and the University Health System Consortium.
