Employees

The employees of Sekers were the heart of the company, bringing skill, dedication, and craftsmanship to every fabric produced. For nearly 70 years, generations of workers—apprentices, weavers, designers, and machinists—contributed to its success. Their hard work not only shaped the company’s reputation but also created a strong sense of community that lasted beyond the mill’s doors.
