Prym Jobs in Usa

Company History

The origins of Prym date back to 1530, making it one of the oldest family-owned industrial companies in the world. Founded by Wilhelm Prym as a goldsmith in Aachen, the company has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability throughout its nearly five-century history. In the mid-17th century, Prym relocated to Stolberg and shifted its focus to brass production. As demand for brass products declined, the company pivoted to machine production of metal haberdashery, establishing itself as a leader in this field.

A significant milestone in Prym's history occurred in 1903 when Hans F. Prym developed the innovative s-spring press fastener, which revolutionized fastening solutions. This invention, produced in countless colors and shapes, has solidified Prym's reputation for quality and reliability, showcasing the company’s commitment to innovation.

Today, Prym thrives with over 3,500 employees across 30 locations in 18 countries and 9 production sites. Under the William Prym Holding, four independent divisions operate globally, each catering to distinct market needs. Prym Consumer is the first choice for textile handicraft, Prym Fashion serves the fashion industry with exceptional customer service and tailored solutions, Prym Intimates offers innovative accessory solutions for lingerie, swimwear, and athleisure, while Inovan Prym specializes in unique engineering for metal and hybrid processing. As a majority-owned family business, Prym remains dedicated to its founding values while embracing the dynamic needs of its customers, playing a vital role in shaping the future of crafting and textile innovation.
