Artistic Milliners acquires former Dickies factory

08/08/2024
Pakistan-based Artistic Milliners (AM) has announced the acquisition of a Dickies garment-making factory located in Parras, Mexico, owned by VF. It is located close to Cone’s mill in the same town in the northeast of the country.

The vertical denim and jeans maker is thus expanding its presence in the Americas. It operates wash hub Star Fades International (SFI), acquired in 2020 and based in Los Angeles with offices in Guatemala. AM has also formed partnerships with local companies, such as Denimville.

“Our investment means we can immediately begin upgrading the denim factory in Mexico on an expedited timeline and can soon offer even more services to retailers and brands looking to manufacture closer to the United States,” the company declared.
