At Albany International, we are at the vanguard of materials science, pioneering advancements that redefine industries. Through groundbreaking technology and a relentless pursuit of innovation, we are revolutionizing both the aerospace and paper manufacturing sectors. Our history, which stretches back to 1895, is a testament to our adaptability and our deep-seated commitment to engineering excellence. We began as a felt manufacturer for the paper industry and have evolved into a global leader in developing and manufacturing highly engineered components. Our innovation is centered on two core businesses: Albany Machine Clothing and Albany Engineered Composites (AEC). In the realm of machine clothing, we are the world's foremost producer of custom-designed, consumable fabrics and process belts that are indispensable for the production of all grades of paper, tissue, and other industrial products. Our solutions enable our customers to achieve greater efficiency and sustainability in their operations. Our spirit of innovation extends dramatically into the aerospace and defense sectors through Albany Engineered Composites. AEC is a rapidly growing force in designing and manufacturing advanced, materials-based components for the most demanding aerospace applications. We leverage proprietary technologies, including our unique 3D woven composite technology, to create lighter, stronger, and more durable parts for commercial and military aircraft engines and airframes. We are a key supplier for next-generation platforms like the CFM LEAP engine, producing critical components such as fan blades and fan cases. This commitment to technological superiority allows us to support the development of more fuel-efficient and higher-performance aircraft. At Albany International, we don't just manufacture components; we engineer the future of advanced materials, driving progress and creating value through science and innovation for our global partners.
