About Wayne Mills
Wayne Mills has operated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since 1910. The family-owned business, now in its fifth generation, began weaving twill tapes and light webbings when steam was coal-fired and yarn arrived by horse-drawn wagon. Today the company runs a 150,000-square-foot complex of nine buildings on four acres in the city's historic Germantown district. More than 60 employees—many with decades of tenure—operate warping and weaving machines, a high-speed bleaching range, a computer-controlled Mageba continuous dye line, and 16 skein dyeing machines. The facility also houses custom coating, reflective lamination, and cutting/packaging lines. Stock items such as cotton tapes (styles 6210, 5541, 5526, 4214, 5533) ship quickly, while custom orders are fulfilled with the same attention to detail. The narrow fabrics serve apparel, bag and strap makers, military-specification programs, and safety applications requiring reflective lamination. Customers include Analog Watch Company and public-sector buyers such as the Philadelphia Commerce Department. Wayne Mills differentiates itself with a 15-pound minimum for custom dye lots—far below the industry's typical 500- to 1,000-pound threshold—and an in-house quality lab that tests break strength, elongation, wash fastness, and adhesive performance. Environmental awards recognize its wastewater treatment, and the firm emphasizes U.S. manufacturing.
