Wellman, Inc., a manufacturer of Fortrel polyester products, is highlighting fibre solutions at the Outdoor Retailer Show, scheduled for August 11-15 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Our position is, we have something that virtually fills every performance need,” said David F. Whitley, business manager staple products, at Wellman. It’s a different way of looking at things, when you start with the requisites, the critical issues facing our customers you can then custom-tailor the right product solution. The needs maybe somewhat similar, but the demand will differ,” he added.

For instance, a t-shirt manufacturer may be looking for odour control, while a sleeping bag supplier needs mildew resistance. What they’re both talking about is an anti-microbial fibre.”

Wellman will highlight its range of products in the areas of comfort, odour control, durability, sustainability, and supply chain links at the show.
