Textile Manufacturing

High Performance Textiles: Woven to Order
Our roll goods, textile engineering, and manufacturing teams provide expertise in the design, testing, and control of custom woven products. We excel in high-performance applications of woven materials using fibers such as Kevlar, Nomex, Conex, Twaron, Spectra, and Vectran. Warwick specializes in the textile manufacturing of Vectran fiber, with performance levels that often exceed that of other high-performance fibers. Please contact us about your custom roll goods order (we do not stock roll goods).

Textile Manufacturing
Our textile manufacturing process includes twisting, plying, warping, weaving, scouring, heat setting, coating, and lamination. All of our manufacturing processes are compatible with multifilament, spun, and monofilament yarns. Warwick specializes in weaving high-strength polyester, nylon, and polypropylene fibers. We are also experts in adhesion, using custom RFL and isocyanate formulas to bond textiles and rubber based upon your application's individual requirements.

Our ISO 9001:2000 quality system ensures control of our engineering, textile manufacturing, and business processes throughout the facility and provides an unmatched level of customer service. Our dedicated staff and strict quality control procedures allow us to tailor fabrics and finishing procedures to your individual requirements. This service provides an exceptional degree of both consistency and accountability for your specific application’s requirements.

Fiber Testing Laboratory
Our ASTM-compliant laboratory has been certified by the U.S. DoD (Department of Defense) for specific testing. The lab supports both fiber production certification as well as product development. We routinely provide testing for tensile, permeability, mullen burst, twist, extraction, abrasion, fatigue, impact, thermal performance, and puncture.

Weaving
We manufacture textile substrates ranging from very open-bonded scrims to very dense plain-weave fabrics. Our weaving techniques include dobby weaves, maximum practical pick construction, plain weaves, plain leno mesh, leno loopers, double-beam composite systems, and loom coated scrims. Our textile manufacturing staff has over 100 years of combined experience manufacturing all industrial fiber types. We provide a fast turnaround on prototype development, as well as volume production.

Fabric Finishing
Our fabric finishing includes scouring, heat setting, coating, and calendering. In order to best serve our aerospace and industrial customers, we control all aspects of fabric production, including the finishing process. Our textile manufacturing capabilities have been the key to our continued service excellence for clients, including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, NASA, Irvin Aerospace, Ford Motor Co., and L.L. Bean.
