80+ YEARS AND COUNTING

FIRE RESISTANT FABRIC EXPERTISE SINCE WWII

Milliken’s history as a flame resistant fabric (FR) manufacturer began in the 1940s, working with the U.S. military to protect our soldiers overseas. From that time forward, we have continued to be at the forefront of the flame resistant fabric and textiles industry.

We manufacture flame resistant fabrics for uniforms and workwear that protect workers in various industries, including fire services, alternative energy, welding, and many more. Our mattress barriers protect you at home. Combat and defense personnel rely on the protection of Milliken military-grade flame resistant fabrics. Our fire resistant products protect electrical contractors - and the people who live and work on the systems they build.

How far does our R&D go? Milliken has tested FR technology on the International Space Station. Our curiosity put us in orbit.
