For more than 50 years, family-owned Lang Ligon and Co., Inc. of Greenville, S.C., has worked exclusively in the textile industry and today serves as agent for several European machinery builders.

 

The company represents quality names such as LGL Electronics (yarn feeders), Ferber (material handing equipment), Comsat (warping) and Ergotron (prescision weaving let-offs and take-ups).

 

Lang Ligon serves North America and Central America in the weaving, knitting and preparation sectors.

 

What differentiates the company is “our reputation for consistent, fair and honest dealing and superior service to our customers, using the Golden Rule,” said Harrell Ligon, president.

 

Due to demand in capital machinery decreasing, Lang Ligon has fewer employees than it did a few years ago but the workforce reduction has occurred through attrition, not layoffs, Ligon said. “We sill have great talent and experience in our people,” he said.

 

The company expects improvement this year due mainly to the recent on-shoring trend, Ligon said.

 

“Our principals have continued to develop their products during the down market years and today products are improved in impressive ways,” he said. “We are running to get this information in front of our customers. Costs have remained stable while advantages of the products have increased. It’s an exciting time.”
