Our
History and Capabilities
Troy, LLC produces a broad range of quality non-woven synthetic textile products for markets as diverse as automotive, apparel, shoe, filtration and commercial interiors. The main plant and corporate headquarters is located in Harrisville, West Virginia. The business today has an active customer base of several hundred companies and distributors both in the U.S. and abroad. The West Virginia facility occupies 80,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space. This facility houses five needlepunch lines with a width capacity of up to 132 inches and services the automotive and apparel markets. The major operating departments at the facility are blending, die cutting, needling, coating and finishing. In the 1930’s Troy recognized the opportunity to introduce needlepunched non-woven fabric into the automotive industry. The conversion process to that technology has continued to position us at the forefront of our industry. Troy research and development has continued to create non-woven textile fabrics for the apparel, footwear, filtration and commercial interior industries as well. Our processes focus on quality, uniformity and reproducibility and yield the capability to produce a broad range of end products. These versatile processes vary surface textures and pile heights that directly impact the quality and durability of Troy fabrics. Various textures are created to vary the “feel”, “look” and “touch” qualities that distinguish our final products. Each step in the Troy process is designed to add value to the finished product. All of our processes are rigorously and continuously monitored. Our integrated production lines eliminate “in-process” stages and provide for immediate quality feedback. Product diversity is a hallmark of the Troy processes. We offer color matching, synthetic fiber selection and an optimized dyeing process. Custom engineered back coatings are designed and applied for specific applications. These backings impact handling qualities, dimensional stability and safety features such as fire retardation. A lamination process fuses materials together to produce composites with many additional properties such as strength, flexibility, high tensile strength and ease of sewing.
Troy, LLC has been successful because it is responsive to the changing needs of industry. It has invested in people and technology to provide custom solutions and modifications to existing products and processes. Troy offers product variety at economical prices with no compromise in quality. Process Capabilities:
