AKAS Textiles & Laminations

About AKAS Textiles & Laminations

AKAS Textiles & Laminations operates from Bensalem, Pennsylvania, and was founded in 2007 as a closely-held enterprise. The company began with a mission to revitalize domestic textile manufacturing by sourcing all fibers locally and partnering exclusively with American mills for production. The firm designs and manufactures high-performance fabrics, offering capabilities that span knitting, weaving, dyeing, laminating, backing, napping, cutting, printing, and a range of specialty finishes such as anti-microbial, stain-resistant, water-resistant, and fire-retardant treatments. It also provides consulting, engineering, and raw-material sourcing services, and maintains an inventory of proprietary roll goods for immediate shipment. AKAS serves industries including athletics, apparel, automotive, furniture, industrial, healthcare, hospitality, military, and food. Its customer base ranges from entrepreneurs to global brands; notable collaborations include the Draft Saver drink insulator for James McCrimmon, fabric technology development with Dr. David Pensak of Pensak Technologies, and strategic partnerships with Dow, DuPont, and Invista for technologies such as SILVADUR™, Teflon®, and Lycra®. AKAS fabrics have been used in U.S. astronaut gear, the Winter Olympics torch, and military equipment. The company differentiates itself through a fully integrated, domestic supply chain that eliminates middlemen, enabling low minimums and quick turnaround. Its manufacturing process avoids harmful solvents and chemicals, and the business has grown at double-digit rates annually since 2007 by focusing on quality, sustainability, and putting American mills back to work.
