In response to a growing consumer demand, Milliken recently opened a new manufacturing plant in Mexico, which spans 105,000 square feet. The new facility will allow our team to produce the highest quality automotive non-wovens across North and South America with unparalleled speed and efficiency. 

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, our team is thinking ahead and executing on industry-leading technologies that solve the market’s greatest needs.

Our patent-pending Autovation products include:

  • MaxLight: Our proprietary fiber blends, composite layers, and tunable NVH performance enhance a range of products that is up to 30% lighter. Better aesthetics and less weight improve automobile seating, floors, and underbody.
