Precision Packaged Yarns

Atkins & Pearce is a full service yarn converter capable of custom braid and fiber solutions for a wide range of textile applications. We understand that fiber selection is critical to engineering textile solutions. Our engineers leverage their extensive knowledge of yarns to design products that meet exacting  customer specifications. And our registered ISO 9001-2000 manufacturing process  allows us to deliver the same high quality in tandem with one of the largest capacities in the world.

The key to our quality and consistency is the way we control each of these phases of the production process: Uptwisting, Plying, Winding, & Braiding.

By controlling  each step of the manufacturing process, we are able to consistently produce high quality materials  designed to meet precise  standards on a mass scale .

Yarn performance can also be enhanced through our post-yarn processing capabilities. By adding surface treatments or coatings, A&P can add value to engineered yarns by modifying properties and customizing attributes to meet specific needs such as; UV resistance, abrasion resistance, and slip control among others.

Our Quality, Consistency, Capacity, Fiber Expertise and Technical Manufacturing Capabilities honed over seven generations pay dividends for the customer and are the reasons why people seek us out to solve their most difficult problems.
