Acme Mills History
Acme Mills has been privately owned and operated since 1917. We’re large enough to meet all your industrial fabric and textile needs, and we pride ourselves on being small enough to add the personal touch with every phone call and question you have. This is the family of Acme Mills.
Acme Mills is part of The Acme Group of companies – a group of companies dedicated to the fabric and textile industry, serving industrial customers. This union allows us to draw on the engineering, technical experience and capabilities of the other members of the Acme Group including Fairway Products, Great Lakes Filters, and Ervins Group.
Acme Mills started out over 90 years ago as a cotton batting mill. The batting was used for car seat cushioning in the earliest days of the automobile. In fact, Acme Mills was a supplier to Henry Ford’s Model T, and a long-time supplier to the Ford Motor Company as a result.
Since then, the company has evolved into one of the largest suppliers of industrial fabrics to the automotive industry in the world. And with it, our automotive product line has evolved from a single material to a broad array of textile products in seating, headliners, door trim, storage, audio, safety, and many other specialized applications.
Beyond that, Automotive is now one of many industries served by Acme Mills. We proudly serve customers in markets as diverse as Furniture, Heavy Truck, Marine, Aviation, Mass Transit, Public Seating, Industrial, Geo-textile, Agriculture, Landscape, and many more.
We are application driven and therefore not tied to one particular technology or fiber in the production or recommendation of fabrics. Our customers look to us as problem solvers. It is with this mind-set that we collaborated with a customer and developed a specialized patented fabric solution called Dymetrol®, sold exclusively by Acme Mills.
Our mission is to meet and exceed the ever growing needs of our customers while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and accountability to our customers, suppliers and our employees.
