Frankl & Thomas Adds Product Lines

Frankl & Thomas Inc., Greenville, recently acquired certain assets of Greenville-based Hurley
& Harrison. As a result, Frankl & Thomas has added several product lines including Lamiflex
composite tapes; Te Strake air-jet relay nozzles and feeders, as well as other IRO/Te Strake
air-jet system components; and Bobotex roll coverings. The company also is the master textile
industry distributor for Klüber Lubrication Products; and also offers Reiners + Fürst rings and
travelers.

Former Hurley & Harrison associates Bennette Cornwell, Jimmy Cranford, Tim Norton and Wes
Wood have joined Frankl & Thomas’ sales team.

Frankl & Thomas has roots dating back to 1946 with the founding of the Ernest L. Frankl
Co., the first US firm to import European textile machinery after World War II; and 1971 with the
founding of Thomas Textile Machinery, distributor for Japan-based spinneret maker Nippon Nozzle.
Those companies merged in 1986.
