Milliken™ Passport is designed for high-turn hospitality use, delivering improved durability, stain release and appearance retention at a competitive price point. The fabric will be available through Venus in napkins and four sizes of tablecloths in white and black.
“Milliken™ Passport was developed to meet the needs of customers who are looking for better performance without moving into a premium price tier,” said David Hassen, senior account manager, Milliken & Company. “It gives laundries and operators a more dependable option in terms of consistency, stain release and overall lifespan, while still being cost-conscious. By working with Venus, we’re able to bring that balance of performance and value to market in a way that’s scalable and accessible for everyday operations.”
The collaboration brings together Milliken’s expertise in textile finishing with Venus’ manufacturing and distribution capabilities, to create a streamlined path to market for a U.S.-finished product designed for industrial laundry environments.
“Passport is the best of both worlds,” said Raj Patel, President Venus Group. “Milliken finished product quality and Venus domestic manufacturing advantages that customers have experienced for decades, combined with value pricing.”
