Fruit of the Loom was founded in 1851 by two brothers in Rhode Island, USA. The B.B and R. Knight Corporation opened its first mill and began producing quality cotton cloth and textiles. Five years later the Fruit of the Loom brand name was born, inspired by paintings of fruit created by the daughter of one of the company’s customers. In 1871 Fruit of the Loom became official and was registered as trademark number 418. This makes the company one of the world’s oldest trademarks and also means it is older than Coca-Cola, the light bulb and even the humble paper bag. With 160 years’ experience in manufacturing quality textiles Fruit of the Loom has grown to become one of the world’s leading clothing brands. In 2002 Fruit of the Loom was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway Group, chaired by one of the world’s most renowned businessmen, Mr Warren Buffett. Being part of such an organisation provides financial security and a strong foundation on which we can build for the future.

Our roots may be in America, but Fruit of the Loom has been well established in Europe for over 30 years and our European business is at the heart of our international growth plans for the future. Our distribution covers over 30 European countries in addition to our Export markets and we are now one of the continent’s leading imprint brands. Our European Headquarters is based in Telford, UK and we have a large distribution centre in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Today we have over 3,500 employees who service our European division. Our senior management teams are based across all major countries and we have an extensive network of sales managers dedicated to each market. Over the years Fruit of the Loom has built a strong network of wholesalers and business partners throughout Europe to ensure our customers continue to receive the excellent service levels they have come to expect.

ETHICS AND THE ENVIRONMENT ARE AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO

Fruit of the Loom doesn’t just make garments; we make them the right way. To us, this means protecting the rights of all people we work with and doing what’s right for the environment. We’ve set out our high standards in our own charter that we call The Fruit Code. And this doesn’t just apply to us – every supplier we work with has to meet the criteria and we carry out independent audits to ensure compliance. All Fruit facilities are fully WRAP certified (an independent world organisation that ensures lawful, humane and ethical manufacturing) and our own Moroccan plant has achieved a Gold Certificate of Compliance. We only use ethically-produced yarn and all our garments are independently Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved. This approval certifies that they contain absolutely no substances that are harmful to humans or the environment. Our Moroccan plant includes its own water-treatment facility that recycles up to 60% of the water we use, returning it to the river cleaner than when it arrived. As a result of this, the river bed has completely regenerated and is once again alive with fish and wildlife. Our ethical and environmental credentials are industry-leading. If ethical manufacturing is important to your business – and it should be – do the right thing and choose Fruit of the Loom.

COMPLETE CONTROL FROM START TO FINISH

Control is vitally important to Fruit of the Loom and our huge custom-built manufacturing plant in Morocco gives us the control we need to bring you the garments you count on us for. Situated on a site the size of around 73 football pitches, our main building is the second-largest in the whole of Africa and we are entirely self-sufficient with our own sub-station and water treatment and recycling facilities. Here we produce all our own garments – over 2 million every week – and the product quality and ethical certainty of every single one of them can be assured by us. Delivery to over 75 countries!

Fruit of the Loom is committed to conducting its business in accordance with the highest standard of business ethics and respect for human rights, and in compliance with all applicable laws. We require our suppliers, licensees, distributors and other business partners to meet these high standards. While the Company recognizes that different cultural, legal and ethical systems exist in the countries in which merchandise may be manufactured, our Code of Conduct sets forth certain basic requirements that all facilities, domestic and foreign, whether owned and operated by the Company or our contractors, licensees or other business partners, must satisfy. Each one of our Business partners must have the Code of Conduct displayed in a prominent position in their factories in English and in the local language.

SUPPLY CHAIN CODE OF CONDUCT COMPLIANCE

Our company has a long-standing commitment of conducting business in an ethical manner, ensuring respect for human rights and the law. We select business partners who share that commitment. As indicated in the Fruit of the Loom Code of Conduct, we strive to maintain consistent standards in all facilities involved in the manufacture and distribution of our products.

FRUIT OF THE LOOM SIGNS ACCORD ON FIRE AND BUILDING SAFETY IN BANGLADESH

Fruit of the Loom is committed to ensuring the safety of workers producing our goods in Bangladesh and throughout our supply chain. As part of that commitment, on December 16, 2013, we signed the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, an independent agreement designed to make all garment factories in Bangladesh safe workplaces. At the same time, Fruit of the Loom intends to remain an active member of the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety. We believe that participating in both the Accord and the Alliance gives us the maximum ability to ensure the safety of garment workers in Bangladesh.

As well as making our own, we look after our own. A staff of almost 4,000 locally-employed people work in a multi-shift operation across our production and sewing plants, and we ensure the respect and wellbeing of our workforce with benefits including healthcare, dental care, training and transport. Factory safety is a priority: we have a dedicated fire service, and no employee is ever more than metres away from a fire escape in these state-of-the-art facilities. In Morocco, we are committed to manufacturing processes that create less waste, which is why we research techniques that result in the best quality garments for decoration made in the best possible way. And as well as quality you can trust, total control over production means we can deliver a service you can trust too – with up to 50 million garments always in stock, we can get you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
