Unifi, a leading innovator in recycled and synthetic yarns, has announced that its board of directors has appointed Edmund Ingle as chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors, effective July 1, 2020. Ingle has spent 30 years with Unifi in progressively senior roles from 1986 to 2018 before becoming an executive with Indorama Ventures.
After more than forty years of dedicated and exceptional service to Unifi, Thomas Caudle, junior president and chief operating officer of the company, has announced his retirement effective June 27, 2021. Caudle will continue to be president and chief operating officer through his retirement date, Unifi said in a press release.

Ingle began his career at Unifi’s operations in Letterkenny, Ireland, in 1986 and moved to Winston-Salem in 1991 to work for Unifi in the US, and over the years has held numerous progressive leadership positions, including vice president of supply chain and global corporate sustainability officer.
“Unifi has been strategically searching for the right leader and industry-experienced candidate to lead this great company into the future.
