Earlier this year, KENTWOOL launched a new brand and became the first company in America to produce a high caliber, “superfine” wool product used exclusively by world renowned clothing retailer, Loro Piana.

The innovative SC-based textile company has been in business for 164 years, and has a state-of-the-art wool-based yarn spinning operation serving a diversified international customer base covering the knitting, spinning, weaving and industrial textile markets.

As part of the corporation's long term innovation strategies, KENTWOOL has been developing a formal research partnership with Clemson University and its Advanced Materials group. Several new product innovations are under development.

Mark Kent is a 20-year veteran of the textile industry and has served on several national industry boards including the American Textile Export Company and the American Textile Manufacturers Institute.

He has been extremely active in South Carolina manufacturing, business, economic development and philanthropic circles, and serves on numerous strategic boards including the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce and the American Red Cross Upstate South Carolina Chapter.

In addition to his leadership of KENTWOOL, he is also President of Greenville-based KENTWORLDWIDE and KENTWORLDWIDE DEVELOPMENT which is currently co-developing the $60+ million Peacock Hotel in downtown Greenville in conjunction with The Peacock Hotel & Spa, LLC.
