Thomaston Mills was started in 1899 by the Hightower family and sold to my family, the Zaslow family in 2001. As a family business we were taught that trust, integrity and kindness are the most important business values and we apply those principles every day. My name is Janet and I am one of the owners of Thomaston Mills, manufacturer of American Blossom Linens. Since I was 4 years old, I have been involved with the family business started by my grandfather. I learned from the ground up about the textile industry from manufacturing to marketing and even sweeping the floor.
