CONSOR Intellectual Asset Management to Sell Dan River Intellectual Property Portfolio
La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) October 1, 2008 -- CONSOR has been asked to undertake an intense marketing and sales initiative for the remaining intellectual property and intangible assets of Dan River. The company is known as the leading manufacturer and marketer of textile products.
Company History:
Founded in 1882 in Danville, Virginia, Dan River is known as the leading manufacturer and marketer of textile products in both the home fashion and apparel fabrics markets. In the midst of WWII, Dan River worked overtime to produce fabrics for both civilian and military needs, which led to further growth and expansion through the 1950's and 1960's.
The 1980's were another period of change for Dan River, with a shift of focus away from their primary market of apparel fabrics to manufacturing and marketing home fashions. Acquiring the assets of The New Cherokee Corporation in 1997, allowed Dan River to become the leading producer of lightweight yarn-dyed woven fabrics in the Western Hemisphere.
Over the last decade the increasing availability of high quality products from lower cost suppliers overseas, has led to the closing of many textile factories in the United States. Despite the attempt to compete globally with the sale of Dan River in 2005 to the Indian based GHCL LTD Company, Dan River has now been forced to close its doors.
Assets for Sale:
The Dan River name: A company with 126 years of history and known as the leading manufacturer and marketer of textile products in both the home and fashion apparel market, Dan River is a name everyone knows.
