Burlington Industries was a diversified U. S. fabric maker based in Greensboro, North Carolina . The company had operations in the United States, Mexico, and India and a global manufacturing and product development network based in Hong Kong. The company entered Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in December 2001. Its assets were acquired by International Textile Group (ITG) out of bankruptcy in late 2003. The Lees Carpet division was sold to Mohawk Industries as part of the deal. With only 500 employees remaining, the company moved out of its well known headquarters building on Friendly Avenue in October 2004. ITG continues to operate the companies Burlington WorldWide Apparel and Burlington House Interior Fabrics . Although this company no longer exists under its current name, Burlington Coat Factory continues to disclaim (as it has since 1981) in their advertising that it is ''not affiliated with Burlington Industries''.
