Wrights (textile manufacturers)
Wrights is a brand of trim and other textiles for home sewing, owned since 2001 by the Simplicity Creative Group.
The Wrights brand was introduced in 1897 when William E. Wright & Sons was founded in Massachusetts.[1] Wright & Sons remained independent until 1985, when a group of shareholders—including a grandson of the founder—enabled the Newell Company to acquire a minority share in the company; within month that share grew until it acquire control over the company.[2] In 1989 Boye Needle Company was merged into Wrights.[1] In 2001 Conso International Corporation, a South Carolina manufacturer of trims to the wholesale trade, and owners of the Simplicity Pattern brand, bought the company.[citation needed]
