Greensboro is still a major center of the textile industry, with the main offices of Elevate Textiles (Cone, Burlington Industries), [[Galey & Lord]], Unifi, and [[VF Corporation]] ([[Wrangler Jeans|Wrangler]], [[Lee (Jeans)|Lee]], [[The North Face]], and [[Nautica (clothing company)|Nautica]]). [[ITG Brands]], maker of Kool, Winston and Salem brand cigarettes and the nation's third-largest tobacco company is headquartered in Greensboro.
