Major Group 22 covers establishments engaged in the manufacturing and processing of textile mill products. This includes every stage of textile production—from the preparation of natural and synthetic fibers to the creation of yarn, thread, and fabrics such as broadwoven, narrow woven, and knit materials. Businesses in this group also produce carpets, rugs, lace, felt, non-woven fabrics, and coated or treated textiles. Operations may include dyeing, finishing, waterproofing, or the integrated manufacturing of knit apparel and other finished goods.
Textile manufacturing establishments generally fall into two main categories: integrated mills, which handle the entire process from raw fiber to finished product, and contract or commission mills, which process materials owned by other companies. Converters and non-manufacturing businesses that send materials for external processing are classified separately, except for those contracting knitting operations, which are included in Industry Group 225.
