Bally Ribbon Mills to Showcase Textile Innovations at Advanced Textiles Expo 2026

Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM) will participate in the Advanced Textiles Expo 2026, taking place from November 3-5 in Orlando, Florida. At Booth #805, the company will present advanced narrow fabrics, webbings, high-performance materials, and custom textile designs tailored for demanding applications.

BRM specializes in developing both standard and custom textile solutions using high-performance fibers such as Zylon®, Vectran®, and Kevlar®. Their precision weaving capabilities cater to application-specific designs for markets that require durable textile components.

The company’s woven materials have been instrumental in next-generation exploration initiatives, including high-strength tapes and webbing used in the parachute and landing systems for the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers on Mars. BRM is also working on materials for future lunar and deep-space missions.

During the expo, Ted Fetterman, BRM's vice president of sales and marketing, will lead a discussion titled “Designing and Manufacturing Advanced Medical Textiles” on November 3, from 2:00-2:30 p.m. This session will cover BRM’s extensive experience in the medical textile market and future trends.
