ALBANY, N.Y. – Stein Fibers, Ltd. announce that it has acquired J. E. Herndon Company, based in Kings Mountain, N.C.

Established in 1928, J. E. Herndon specializes in the purchase and processing of textile mill fibers and by-products. Herndon's finished blends are consumed globally in diverse applications such as industrial yarns and banknote paper.
