A Warm History
Warm Products, Inc. was established in the late ‘70’s with the introduction of an environmental window treatment product engineered to reduce heating and cooling costs. This was followed closely by a very popular cotton batting product necessitating the purchase of nonwoven textile equipment to satisfy the growing demand and control the quality. Warm continued to grow as a full-fledged manufacturer diversifying and increasing capacity as industrial and custom rolled goods volume increased, spurring the formation of Warm Industrial Nonwovens (WIN). Warehouse space was doubled on the East Coast (Hendersonville, NC) to 210,000 square feet; tripled on the West Coast (Elma, WA) to 165,000 square feet and several new nonwoven lines have been installed in both locations. Today, WIN’s nonwoven fiber processing capacity is close to 40 million yards annually utilizing 13 state-of-the-art nonwovens lines between the two plants. These services include Air Laid, Card & Cross Lapping, Thermal Bonding and Needle-punch. Several new capabilities have also been added to include Sonic Welding, Gravure Printing, Lamination and Automated Custom Cutting to name a few. As more nonwoven equipment is scheduled to come on-line, WIN’s capacity and capabilities will continue to grow well into the future.

WIN credits their ability to process a wide variety of natural and synthetic fibers as well as fiber blends for its success.

Meeting the customer’s specifications in width, loft and weight is a combination of computerized line automation, operator training and quality assurance documented testing on every roll produced.
