About Applied Textiles
Engineering Better Textiles. Delivering Smarter Solutions.
Applied Textiles is a global textile solutions partner specializing in performance engineering, supply chain management, and certified textile testing for commercial and residential interiors. For over 30 years, we’ve helped textile mills, distributors, furniture manufacturers, brands, and designers bring high-performing materials to market faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.
We don’t manufacture fabric.
We engineer it, then deliver it.
A Direct Path from Mill to Market
We’ve built a streamlined supply chain that connects textile mills → distributors → brands → end users, eliminating friction at every stage.
Our integrated services include:
- Textile sourcing and global procurement
- Warehousing and inventory management
- Processing technologies
- Material handling (full rolls or exact yardage)
- Sample and memo fulfillment
- Logistics, freight, and distribution management
With low minimums, fast turnaround, and scalable infrastructure, we provide a reliable highway that moves textiles efficiently from concept to completion.
Performance Technology That Works Permanently
Applied Textiles enhances fabrics with performance technologies designed for real-world use.
Alta™ Performance Technology
- Permanent stain resistance (water- and oil-based)
- Improved durability (abrasion, seam strength, pilling)
- Enhanced cleanability
- No impact on hand, texture, or color
Alta™ dwr (PFAS-Free)
- Advanced water repellency without PFAS
- Designed for health-conscious and environmentally responsible applications
- Durable performance that lasts the life of the fabric
Our technologies are engineered to be invisible to the eye and hand—yet powerful in performance.
Setting the Standard with Certified Testing
Our Applied Lab, an A2LA-accredited testing facility, provides independent, certified textile testing to validate performance and ensure compliance.
Capabilities include:
- Flammability testing (upholstery and drapery)
- Abrasion testing (Wyzenbeek & Martindale)
- Colorfastness and durability testing
- Stain and cleanability testing
- Product qualification and development
We don’t just test textiles, we help define performance standards for brands and global programs.
Where Luxury Meets Commercial Performance
Beautiful textiles shouldn’t be limited by performance constraints.
Applied Textiles specializes in engineering luxury and design-forward fabrics, including velvets, bouclés, chenilles, and fine wovens, to meet the demands of commercial environments.
By combining Alta™ technology with specialized backings and treatments, we enable:
- Enhanced durability and longevity
- Improved cleanability
- Compliance with commercial fire codes
- Expanded use of high-end textiles in high-traffic spaces
The result: design freedom without compromise.
