Dan Feibus is CEO of Vidalia Mills Co., a fully vertical denim mill with in-house spinning based in Vidalia, Louisiana. The company focuses on performance denim and shuttle-loom selvedge denim designed to compete with what is produced by premium denim mills around the world. Dan has designed the mill to fill the need for quick response premium denim. The mill was built from the skeleton of a former Fruit of the Loom distribution center and uses a state-of-the-art slasher yarn dye preparation system that radically reduces the amount of water used in fabric dyeing. It has also eliminated the most harmful chemicals often used in the manufacture of denim fabric and has created a close-loop water system for zero discharge.
