Keer America entered the U.S. textile industry market in 2013. In 2015, they began their first open-end production of high-quality yarns using 100% U.S. cotton. Soon after, in 2018, Keer America expanded productions and launched a new state-of-the-art ring spinning operation.
Today, Keer America’s manufacturing plants are capable of producing 1,000,000 lbs of 100% U.S. cotton yarn per week, including KPOE, Combed and Carded Ring-Spun and Amsler yarns. They also plan to add two new independent production facilities on their 165-acre property in Indian Land, South Carolina. Facilities that will create at least 500 American jobs.
By joining the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, Keer America can showcase the sustainability credentials of the U.S. cotton they source. And because they use only the best U.S.-grown cotton fiber and the most advanced spinning equipment in the industry, they have the capacity to produce a wide variety of pure cotton yarns for a diverse and demanding market.
Keer America appreciates their role in the cotton yarn supply chain. Their commitment to providing professional customer and technical service, combined with sustainably sourced U.S.-grown cotton, ensures they have long-lasting relationships with knitting and weaving manufacturers throughout the U.S. and Central America.
U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol – Setting a new standard in more sustainably grown cotton
Trust Protocol mills and manufacturer members like Keer America gain access to U.S. cotton that is sustainably grown and third-party verified.
The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol brings quantifiable, verifiable goals and measurement to sustainable cotton production and drives continuous improvement in six key sustainability metrics – land use, soil carbon, water management, soil loss, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency.
The Trust Protocol is also the world’s first sustainable cotton fiber to offer its members article-level transparency across the supply chain through the Protocol Consumption Management Solution.
Through the support and guidance provided by the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, cotton growers, mills, and manufacturers can ensure a sustainable future for the planet.
Likewise, brands and manufacturers can utilize the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol to identify supply chain mills like Keer America and provide their customers the assurance they need that the cotton yarn in their clothes, fabrics, and textiles is sustainably sourced and manufactured.
