History of Tullahoma Industries:
Tullahoma Industries began as Daun Ray Casuals, founded by Daun Anthony in 1968.   The company began as a manufacturer of Australian bikinis.  However, these bikinis proved to be a bit too risqué for the 1960’s American woman, and the company ceased production of that item.  The company was able to find alternate products to sustain the business until Jack Anthony  (Daun Anthony’s son) took over the business in the late 70’s.

Jack introduced the company to defense contracting. Throughout the years Daun Ray Casuals made an assortment of products for both the commercial market and Defense Department ranging from chemical protective garments, to the US Navy white dress jumper, to performance fleece products for Champion, Russell Athletic, Fruit of the Loom, and Sara Lee.

In 1992 Richard Davenport was hired to oversee all manufacturing. Davenport served as Vice President of Manufacturing until 1999, when Jack Anthony retired.  At that point, Davenport purchased the company’s assets, and changed the company name to Tullahoma Industries.

Since that time, the company has grown considerably. Currently, Tullahoma Industries is producing the newly redesigned Army Combat Uniform, Polypropylene Thermal Underwear, and Chemical Protective Garments that are sold to various law enforcement agencies.

Tullahoma's facilities are state-of-the-art.  It has reinvested considerable capital in Unit Productions Systems and highly automated equipment to provide quick response to its customer base. Tullahoma Industries is committed to providing quality products at competitive prices, and is ISO-9001:2000 certified.
