Together, the Acme Group is a formidable player in the fabric and textile industry, providing comprehensive solutions across multiple sectors. Originally starting as a cotton batting mill, Acme Mills played a vital role in the early days of the automotive industry. The company’s cotton batting was used for car seat cushioning, and Acme Mills had the honor of being a supplier to Henry Ford’s first car, the iconic Model T. This early partnership with Ford paved the way for Acme Mills to become a long-time supplier to the Ford Motor Company and established its reputation in the automotive sector. As the automotive industry grew and evolved, so did Acme Mills. Over the years, the company expanded its offerings and became one of the largest suppliers of industrial fabrics to the automotive industry worldwide. Acme Mills’ automotive product line has grown from a single offering to a broad range of textile products used in seating, headliners, door trim, storage, audio systems, safety components, and many other specialized applications. This evolution reflects the company’s ability to adapt to industry needs and maintain its position at the forefront of textile innovation. However, Acme Mills' impact extends far beyond the automotive industry. Today, the company serves a diverse array of markets, including furniture, heavy trucks, marine, aviation, mass transit, public seating, industrial applications, geo-textiles, agriculture, landscape, and many more. This broad market reach highlights Acme Mills’ ability to provide tailored fabric solutions for a wide range of industries, each with unique needs and requirements. Acme Mills stands out in the textile industry for its application-driven approach. The company is not tied to any single technology or fiber but instead focuses on providing solutions that meet the specific needs of its customers.
