History
Poplar Linens was founded as the "Handkerchief Factory" in 1949.[6] In a print advert published in 1990, the company is marketed as Ireland's "largest manufacturer of Linen Tea-Towels".[7] In January 2002, Poplar Linens was one of the 250 licensees engaged to produce licensed products for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and produced bed linen, towels and flags for the event.[8]
In April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Poplar Linens began selling personal protective equipment through their website.[citation needed]
