We are an industrial textile manufacturer, best known for our federal government contracting work and have produced several thousand national stock numbered (NSN) lines for a variety of federal agencies, large and small OEM organizations, as well as individuals who want to see their product taken from concept to product. With over 250 industrial sewing machines (single needle, double needle, box "X"​, bar tackers and programables) and several radio frequency, hot wedge and hot fabric welders, we're prepared to manufacture to established product configuration. We also offer a full complement of engineering services. Whether you need design assistance, prototypes or product evaluation, our experienced engineers are ready to put our CAD system to work for you. If a fabric can be cut, sewn, glued, snapped, buttoned, buckled, cinched, clipped, riveted, welded or otherwise bonded, we can fashion it into a product to fit your specifications.
