It's OK to ask for help....  And we did!
The increased demand for our high-performance, inherent flame resistant (IFR) safety apparel has been pushing our lead times out too far, which is not acceptable to us nor our customers.  We knew it was time to put on our big boy pants and find someone who could help us make what our customers need to outfit all their new hires.  And quickly!


Introducing KCARC / Dove Manufacturing

​Check out how awesome they are for the community and for Tri-Star!
KCARC was founded in 1972 and garment manufacturing began in 1987.   The plant produces light to medium weight clothing, pouches, and gear.  Our Cut and Sew Manufacturing Plants are located in Vincennes and Loogootee, Indiana.  Combined, they offer over 154,000 square feet to accommodate large and small scale contract sewing jobs.  There is sufficient space for additional capabilities and product lines.
Goals and Objectives
The goal is to have KCARC sew our larger volume garments.  That will accomplish the following objectives:
  1. Make garments quickly for those customers who need to hire and employ a large number of team members.
  2. Reduce lead times for the remaining customers so we can get garments out quickly to their team members.
  3. Give us the ability to be responsive to new opportunities from existing as well new customers.
  4. Continue to shout from the rooftop that all of our garments are still very Proudly Made in the USA!
While KCARC is currently sewing garments for us, we are still working out the logistical kinks while they purchase additional equipment that will accommodate the manufacture of industrial PPE made using robust inherent flame resistant fabrics.

Please bear with us during this exciting transition period!
