Seeing an opportunity to make safety vests for a council and knowing a person who could sew, Greg Mitchell founded Styx Mill in mid 1991. From a small tin building, he developed not only a new product but a future for New Zealanders making world class specialist clothing.
Today you can find Styx Mill Road and the suburb Styx Mill on the northern side of Christchurch, with the manufacturing facility moving to a new location near Christchurch Airport.
You won’t find a ‘designed here & made over there’ label in a Styx Mill garment.
