About

Our unmatched expertise in the manufacturing of FR fabrics was first established during World War II, when the United States Military commissioned innovative FR technology from Westex. In 1987, we launched a major research and development program, employing custom engineered equipment with proprietary processing steps. The end result was our innovative Indura line of fabrics the first flame resistant cotton fabric engineered to provide guaranteed flame resistance. Today, our primary business lies in production of the industry's premier brands: UltraSoft, UltraSoft AC and Indura. As a world leader in FR fabrics, staffed by the most experienced technical staff in the industry, we remain dedicated to the cause of improving protective fabrics. For decades, we've partnered with NFPA and ASTM to develop standards for worker protection against potential hazards in the workplace. We've also conducted thousands of tests at independent laboratories evaluating the performance of FR fabrics. Beyond our unmatched commitment to safety, Westex also remains committed to providing our customers with excellent service and technical support, comprehensive educational resources, and always reliable inventory.
