Looks like connection to China early 90's
"A little more than a year ago, U.S. Customs agents walked into two Wilkesboro companies with a court order and walked out with thousands of cotton work gloves and corporate records as well.
The seizure stirred little attention then, but it ignited an investigation that now encompasses at least nine work glove manufacturers in five states, a Mississippi state prison and the Big Three U.S. automobile makers.At issue is whether a collection of companies owned by or affiliated with a Michigan man named Michael G. Conniff has imported gloves made in China, labeled them as made in America and sold them at big profits to domestic car manufacturers. Customs agents and a federal grand jury in Mississippi are investigating. To date, no charges have been filed in the case.
Officials at the Wilkesboro companies and Conniff did not return calls and federal authorities declined to comment on the case. Yet, from published reports and documents filed in federal court, a picture has emerged of how Conniff and his companies allegedly abused the eagerness of U.S. automakers to buy American-made goods in order to gain control of the multi-million dollar domestic glove business.
Affidavits filed by a U.S. Customs agent accuse Conniff's companies of reaping large profits selling relabeled gloves to General Motors, Ford and Chrysler while other U.S. glove makers lost business and their employees sometimes lost their jobs. Based on the affidavits filed in federal courts in North Carolina and Mississippi and articles in the Detroit Free Press, this is allegedly how it worked:
Michael G. Conniff, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, gained his entry into the protective glove manufacturing business in the late 1960s through his father's Detroit-based company, Kaul Glove & Manufacturing. Conniff's presence in the glove industry today is impressive, according to federal authorities.
He owns or is part owner of Golden Needles Knitting and Glove and Tom Thumb Glove, both of Wilkesboro; Kaul Glove and Manufacturing, in Detroit; Preston Glove and Safety and Choctaw Glove and Safety, both located in Noxapater, Miss.; Slate Springs Glove, in Slate Springs, Miss.; Peerless Glove and Ideal Glove, both in Bluffton, Ohio; and Louisville Glove, of Louisville, Ky.
Ultimately, Conniff used this web of companies and forged a variety of business deals to win contracts worth tens of millions of dollars a year providing work gloves to the country's three largest automakers, GM, Ford and Chrysler.
