Parkdale Inc.
Answering the call
It was a warm day in March at Parkdale Inc. headquarters just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, when the phone rang on Andy Warlick’s desk. It was a plea for help from the U.S. government.
The pandemic had created an acute shortage of face masks and surgical gowns throughout the United States. To protect the thousands of healthcare workers on the coronavirus front lines, millions of masks and gowns were needed—and needed fast.
Warlick, the CEO of Parkdale Inc., one of the largest textile producers in the world, hung up the phone. He called in Davis Warlick, Parkdale’s executive vice president, who immediately got to work.
