Where do textile and fiber companies go when they need a centralized source of technical support for their business? For over 60 years that place has been the Textile Technology Center in Belmont, NC.

Since its inception in 1941, the Center has played a significant role in helping the North Carolina textile industry remain competitive, manufacture quality products, and maintain a well-trained workforce.

Over time, the areas of need within textile firms have changed and evolved, but the Center has always remained flexible and evolved along with the need.
