Acme Mills Partners with Vietnamese Manufacturers for Non-Woven Textiles
In March 2025, Acme Mills announced a significant partnership with reputable producers in Vietnam to broaden its range of non-woven textiles. This strategic move is designed to navigate the complexities of global trade, particularly in light of recent tariff impositions affecting Chinese goods. The collaboration not only enhances Acme Mills’ product offering but also addresses the increasing market demand for high-quality, cost-effective textiles.
Founded in 1917, Acme Mills has built a solid reputation in the textile industry, initially supplying fabric to Henry Ford for the Model T. The company has evolved over the years, expanding its specialization to encompass high-performance textiles across various sectors, including automotive, medical, and personal care. The ongoing changes in international trade dynamics prompted Acme Mills to seek new sources of supply and reinforce its market position.
The new partnership with Vietnamese manufacturers comes as a proactive strategy amid rising tariffs on textiles manufactured in China. By relying on trusted partners in Vietnam, known for their high-quality production capabilities, Acme Mills aims to provide its customers with premium non-woven products without the additional costs brought about by tariffs.
