Concordia was founded in 1920 as a manufacturer of silk yarns and for the next 70 years the company grew to become a leading producer of synthetic yarns and threads for traditional textile applications.

In the late 1980's Concordia took its fiber handling expertise to new levels using textile science to expand its capabilities into engineered products including advanced composites for aerospace, filtration media, power transmission belts, sailcloth, and many other applications.

During the past five years Concordia has again taken its innovative skills into new fields.   Concordia is now bringing its textile expertise to the medical and bioscience community. Utilizing its years of experience in fiber handling, the company began designing and building machines specialized in forming textile structures from resorbable fibers.   A new 1,000 square foot clean room was added in 2003. In 2005 Concordia acquired the tissue engineering scaffold assets of Albany International Research Company.   Concordia is now able to produce a variety of non-woven bioabsorbable polymer substrates.

Concordia continues to design and manufacture high performance yarns for leading apparel and industrial fabric firms throughout the United States and the world, but Concordia's product offerings are more complex and offer a far greater opportunity for product development in leading growth sectors.
