How long has Textron been in business?
Textron started as a small textile company in 1923, when 27-year-old Royal Little founded the Special Yarns Corporation in Boston, Massachusetts. Revenues that first year were just $75,000. Today that company has grown into a highly successful multi-industry enterprise with a vision of becoming the premier multi-industry company, recognized for our network of powerful brands, world-class processes and talented people.
