Aurora Specialty Textiles has developed next-generation, custom-coating capabilities and products to meet the needs of pressure sensitive tape, industrial belt, home furnishings and printable textiles industries.

Aurora Specialty Textiles, based in the US, is a leader in coating, dyeing and finishing of both woven and nonwoven fabrics. A leading custom-coater and finisher for the North American textile industry supply chain, Aurora provides a wide variety of finishes – water repellency, antimicrobial and FR – and is well-known for engineering industrial belting and printable textiles as well as backings for pressure sensitive tape fabrics.

In the printable textiles category, Aurora has the Expressions Canvas line. Treated with a proprietary coating developed by Aurora, Expressions has been engineered to maximise print output and throughput with the newest digital printing equipment. The entire line is cross-compatible with the latest generation of latex, solvent/eco-solvent and UV printers without sacrificing quality or productivity.

Founded in 1883, Aurora operated solely as a bleaching operation before adding finishing, dyeing and coating capabilities. As the global textile industry changed, the company saw the opportunity to move into ultra-wide-width coating of textiles and establish Aurora as a premier textile coater. That move required finding a larger manufacturing facility and investing in new equipment.
