What Precision Textiles does

Precision Textiles LLC is a US-based textile manufacturer founded in 1987 (originally as Precision Custom Coatings) and headquartered in Totowa/Fairfield, New Jersey, specializing in nonwoven and laminated solutions with fire retardant (FR) technology. The company operates from a 210,000-square-foot headquarters incorporating a state-of-the-art laboratory, factory and warehouse, supported by four US warehouses (Fairfield NJ, Madison, Troy NC, Phoenix AZ) and three international warehouses via joint ventures. Its core technology centers on glass-free FR barriers, inherent FR rayon stretch barriers (patented in Ecoflex, US 10,563,328 B2), proprietary carbon/silica/nanoclay thermal barriers (Endure, US 10,260,195 B1), and a portfolio of patented and certified eco-friendly products (ECOLOFT, ECOFLEX, IQ Fit Natural, PureLoft) with GOTS, USDA Bio-Preferred and ISO 9001:2015 certifications.

The company sells primarily to B2B OEM customers across three verticals: bedding (FR mattress components compliant with CFR 1633), automotive (interior insulation, upholstery liners, dashboard and door panel insulation, headliners for major OEMs), and healthcare/institutional (antimicrobial, fluid-proof fabrics for hospitals, dormitories, and correctional facilities). Its go-to-market is an enterprise field-sales model with technical representatives co-developing custom solutions alongside customer R&D teams, supported by in-house lab testing and quote-based pricing. The company generated no disclosed revenue figures or funding events.

Precision Textiles is privately held and co-owned by founders Peter Longo (COO/Chairman, mechanical engineer) and Scott Tesser (CEO, ~40 years of textile industry experience), who re-acquired the company from a private equity firm in 2000. The leadership team includes VP Keith Martin (20-year tenure, textile engineering background) and National Sales Manager Gerry Welkley (former Leggett & Platt VP of Sales and Marketing). Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward sustainability through the January 2024 Unifi/REPREVE partnership and the February 2024 'Preserving the Planet' initiative, alongside product launches such as the NoSo FR Sock (October 2023) and expanded institutional fabric offerings.
