Shamron Mills LLC buys Hinson & Hale Medical Technologies Plant
creating Shamron Manufacturing

Wilkesboro, N.C. — Shamron Mills, a Troy, N.Y.-based garments and textile company, has purchased Wilkesboro-based Hinson & Hale Medical Technologies plant to create Shamron Manufacturing. The two companies have had a relationship since 2014, when Hinson & Hale began manufacturing medical garments for Shamron Mills. Shamron Manufacturing’s 43,000-square-foot plant is located at 1208 Industrial Park Road in Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

Shamron Mills focuses on custom orders, from fabric procurement to garment finishing. The majority of its products are manufactured in the U.S. Since 1983, it has served customers in healthcare, energy, research, military, government and industry. Increased demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic challenged Shamron Mills to consider expanding into overseeing its own U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities to meet market demand. The acquisition of the Wilkesboro plant provides a talented workforce and equipment that will strengthen Shamron Mills’ position in the marketplace.

“It is a great time to be manufacturing in the U.S.!” –Ronnye B. Shamam

“I purchased the Wilkesboro manufacturing plant to create a more vertical company,” said Ronnye B. Shamam, president of Shamron Mills LLC and owner of Shamron Manufacturing. “This acquisition allows Shamron Mills to better serve its customers in the variety of textile products they need and to ensure that the manufacturing of these products stays in the United States. We will be able to utilize our skilled workforce and build upon that talent, allowing us to have more control over products and relieve supply chain issues when purchasing from overseas.”

“Many of our components are no longer manufactured in the U.S. and have to be imported, primarily from China. Importing delays can affect my production, and ultimately, my end users,” said Shamam. “By keeping as much of our supply chain domestic as we can, it not only creates a smooth manufacturing process, it also contributes to the country’s economy.”

Shamron Mills sells its products to distributors and other manufacturers. These products include medical scrubs, operating gowns, patient pajamas, examination gowns, hyperbaric garments, wrappers, draw sheets, and standard and custom-sized drapes with specific openings used in operating rooms.
