As the US technical textile landscape is changing, Technical Textiles reporter/writer, John W. McCurry describes how SSM Industries’ diverse approach has helped buffer the company from the worst effects of the general downturn in the US economy and deep cuts to the defense budget.

Excerpt from the article; SSM is proud of its diversity and produces high-value fabrics in response to customers’ requests. Steve Smith, VP Sales & Marketing, describes how “research and development is a big component. We believe the economy will come around in the next couple of years. It’s showing signs of trying to get out of the hole and I am optimistic about all of our markets.”
