National Mill Industry, Inc. was established in 1991 by Victor Shacalo and Joseph Torgueman. They specialized in liquidations and closeouts and focused on foundations. In May 1996 Joseph Cohen sold his company and used the proceeds to become a partner in National Mill Industry, Inc. After nine successful years in the liquidation business, the three partners decided to create faster growth through acquisitions. Their first acquisition, in May 2000, was a company that sold better foundations under the "Carnival Creations" label. In January 2012 Abe Goldstein an importer of private label hosiery, sleepwear, and lounge wear for national retailers sold his company to National Mill Industry, Inc. in exchange for a partnership in the newly formed conglomerate. After many years of expansion the partners consolidated their operations under one roof and purchased the building that is now both the Corporate Office and East Coast Distribution Center for National Mill Industry Inc. Today National Mill Industry services all tiers of retail both in the USA and internationally under the "Carnival Creations" label for better lingerie, "Rugged Frontier" for men's basic apparel & hosiery, and branded closeouts in all types of apparel.
