Milliken & Co., Spartanburg, SC, and Venus Group, Foothill Ranch, CA, have collaborated to introduce a new, U.S.-finished table linen fabric.

The fabric, called Milliken™ Passport, is designed for high-turn hospitality use, delivering improved durability, stain release and appearance retention at a competitive price point. The fabric will be available through Venus in napkins and four sizes of tablecloths in white and black.

“Milliken™ Passport was developed to meet the needs of customers who are looking for better performance without moving into a premium price tier,” said David Hassen, senior account manager, Milliken & Co. “It gives laundries and operators a more dependable option in terms of consistency, stain release and overall lifespan, while still being cost-conscious. By working with Venus, we’re able to bring that balance of performance and value to market in a way that’s scalable and accessible for everyday operations.”

The collaboration brings together Milliken’s expertise in textile finishing with Venus’ manufacturing and distribution capabilities, to create a streamlined path to market for a U.S.-finished product designed for industrial laundry environments.

The new table linen program hit the market on June 1.
