PRAUDEN > History
TP Inc. has been growing as a clothing manufacturer specialized in outdoor wear since its foundation in 1972. In the 1980s, there were no premium down processors whatsoever. In this period, Pan-Pacific established Korea’s first down processing plant based on its knowhow of clothing production and technical partnerships with overseas businesses. The company has been strengthening its market status and growing as a leading premium down brand, providing quality down products and continuously developing new technology.
