MIL & PIA Spec Driven Fabrics
We work alongside and serve the needs of contractors who supply all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces with a wide range of engineered and customized woven and knit fabrics to meet specific requirements. Performance Textiles also certifies Berry Amendment Compliant fabrics ensuring that all fabrics are produced in the USA.
We collaborate with Natick Army (NSRDEC) labs and the industry on various parachute fabrics for high performance personnel and cargo delivery and offer revolutionary new materials for the new parachute design the military requires. As with parachute canopy fabrics, our extensive development experience and capability gives us an advantage in constructing other high performance fabrics for a broad range of applications. Our fabrics are engineered to exceed “minimum requirements” others seek to supply.
