Nylon Fabric Waste

Nylon fabric waste from the Guilford Performance Textile division is effectively utilized to make a fabric-based velcro covering. This covering is used effectively for a specific harness family where the wiring is routed from the exterior to the interior of the body through metal. This is a true example where a process waste from one sister company is utilized and tailored into a “reusable” harness covering.
