At Acme Mills, we believe the right textile can transform not only a product—but also an entire experience. Nowhere is this more evident than in the aerospace industry, where comfort, safety, and performance converge at 30,000 feet. We’ve spent over a century mastering industrial textile engineering, and today, our contributions to aerospace seating textiles stand at the leading edge of innovation.

Engineering for the Sky

Aerospace seating is one of the most technically demanding applications for textiles. Every component must adhere to strict safety, regulatory, and functional standards. But performance isn’t the only requirement—today’s air travelers also expect comfort, aesthetics, and sustainability.

At Acme Mills, we provide textile solutions that help seating manufacturers meet and exceed those expectations. Our engineered materials support key needs in commercial and private aircraft seating, including fire resistance, weight reduction, durability, and ergonomic comfort.

Aerospace Seating Textiles: Designed for Flight

Our dedicated aerospace solutions are the result of years of R&D and collaboration with seating designers and manufacturers. Here’s what sets our aerospace textile innovations apart:

Lightweight Construction

Every pound matters in aviation. That’s why our materials are designed to provide high performance with low weight. From seating backings to cushion layers, our textile solutions help reduce the overall weight of the seat while maintaining durability and integrity.

Abrasion and Wear Resistance

Aircraft seats endure intense use—sometimes hundreds of cycles per week. We engineer textiles that resist abrasion, pilling, and structural fatigue, helping airlines and OEMs extend product life and reduce maintenance costs.

Comfort with Structure

We understand that passengers expect comfort for both short and long-haul flights. Our materials are crafted to maintain their shape, resist compression, and offer excellent tactile response. This ensures that seating stays supportive and visually appealing for years to come.

Custom Aesthetics

Whether the seat is in business class or economy, form matters as much as function. We offer a range of design-forward textile options, allowing clients to match brand aesthetics with top-tier material performance.

Real-World Applications

Our textiles are used across a range of aerospace seating structures—from cushion substrates and suspension systems to seat backs and underlays. These layers aren’t just cosmetic—they define the user experience and long-term function of the seat.

Our approach integrates seamlessly into OEM supply chains. Whether you need woven, nonwoven, laminated, or knit constructions, our textiles are engineered for easy processing and compliance at scale.

Partnering for Innovation

At Acme Mills, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We work hand-in-hand with aerospace seating manufacturers to design custom textile solutions that respond to emerging trends, regulatory updates, and evolving market demands.

We also provide testing support and performance verification, helping our partners meet stringent aerospace specifications from concept through certification.

Commitment to Sustainability

Aviation is actively seeking ways to reduce its environmental footprint, and textiles are an important part of that journey. We’re proud to offer sustainable textile options—including recycled content fabrics and low-impact production processes—that align with broader ESG goals.

Our mission is to support the shift toward cleaner, greener aviation without compromising quality, comfort, or compliance.
