Heavy-duty protection

As one of the first manufacturers to recognize the superiority of aramid fibers over asbestos or fiberglass. AMI has been a pioneer in the safety clothing industry for nearly two decades. Today we offer fully integrated capabilities: making core-pun yarns, weaving, knitting, coating and aluminizing heat resistant fabrics in a wide variety of weights, widths and performance characteristics. With specially developed coatings that allow easy cutting and sewing into mitts and gloves-without sacrificing temperature resistance-our fabrics are widely used for industrial, heavy-duty hand protection.
