Barnhardt, a privately held company founded in 1900, is a leading supplier of bleached cotton fiber used in products ranging from feminine care, medical products, consumer products, wet wipes to specialty products, such as flame retardant and antimicrobial applications.
  
“We are excited about the opportunity to expand our bleached cotton business and also joining the two sites operation and market intelligence together to form a stronger company that is eager to meet the changing needs of the global cotton market,” said Barnhardt president Lewis Barnhardt.
