100 Years of American Made Excellence – Woven into your
life.
Just like the individual yarns that make up our fabrics, Twitchell
Technical Products blends 100 years of innovative products, brand
excellence, and custom solutions into a pattern of success. While very
few companies in any industry have withstood the test of time to
celebrate their centennial, Twitchell is proud to celebrate its 100th
Anniversary.
Twitchell celebrated Wednesday, May 11th, to recognize and thank
current and retired employees, customers, and suppliers that have helped
shape Twitchell Technical Product’s success over the past century.
Founded in 1922 by Earl Wagner Twitchell in Unionville, Connecticut,
then moved to Philadelphia in 1930, the company initially manufactured
woven and knitted paper products – the first of many industry
innovations.
Twitchell moved to Dothan in 1954 and eventually transitioned to
manufacturing its current prevailing product lines, beginning in 1967
with Textilene® a PVC coated polyester fabric. Another first for the
manufacturing world. Twitchell has maintained the same 33-acre
manufacturing site since 1956. We pride ourselves on knowing our yarn,
fabric, and textiles are made in the USA, in our Dothan, AL
headquarters.
According to Gena Webb, VP of R&D/Products, “Developing higher
performing fabrics, creative designs, and expanding into new markets is
how Twitchell maintained centennial success. Since the beginning, The
Twitchell name has represented quality and innovation in yarns and
fabrics.” says Webb. “We are privileged to have continued confidence
from deep-rooted customers and dedicated suppliers. Our commitment will
continue as we look to our next 100 years.”
Today, as throughout its history, Twitchell continues to
revolutionize the outdoor furniture, interior & exterior solar
screen, specialty fabric, safety, and coating markets. With over 360
stocked fabrics available on-demand and a 1200 active custom color
library, Twitchell stays committed to innovation, brand excellence and
flexibility in manufacturing and design.
