Textile Manufacturing
Textile Manufacturing is among the oldest and largest industries in the world today. Finished textile products typically begin as a single fiber (sometimes from animal fur, vegetables, or synthetic materials) and are braided, weaved, or otherwise assembled into yarn. From yarn, manufacturers may create several types of products from clothing to car parts.
Innovative Textiles is an industry leading manufacturer of synthetic textiles with a focus on commercial applications. We combine cutting edge engineering with proven business practices to produce some of the world's highest quality materials available today.
Our Company
In 1992 Innovative Textiles was launched in Grand Junction, Colorado with the intent of manufacturing high strength braided lines for sport kiting. However, the need for a braided fishing line that was compatible with light tackle angling pushed Innovative Textile's development and manufacturing team to research, test, and develop a new braided super line – a small diameter line offering greater strength and less stretch than traditional monofilament lines.
In 1997, Innovative Textiles introduced PowerPro microfilament braided line made with Spectra® fiber, an incredibly round, smooth, and sensitive line (a vast improvement over the older braided lines). While initial sales were slow, hard work and perseverance paid off as Innovative Textiles has enjoyed a steady increase in sales revenue since the introduction of the PowerPro brand.
The continuing development of PowerPro to meet the needs of all the discerning anglers (domestic and international) has not only given a boost to the fishing community, but also to the local community, employing over 60 people. In fact in 2004, Innovative Textiles president and founder, Konrad Krauland, won Grand Junction’s Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award.
