Draper Brother’s Company was established in 1856 as a textile manufacturer. To this day it is still family owned and operated by the 5th and 6th generations of the original Draper family that emigrated from England in the 1840’s. Draper Knitting Company is now run by 6th generation family member Kristin Draper. Draper specializes in circular knit fabrics which include high pile sliver knit, conventional circular knit and Stitchbonded non-woven fabrics. Each fabric is custom made to exact customer specifications. A wide range of fabrics can be created using organic and recycled fibers and/or yarn to provide a more eco-friendly end fabric.  The company's corporate headquarters houses the corporate offices and a 120,000 square foot manufacturing facility under one roof. This facility includes a state-of-the-art CAD studio where patterns are created, 40 knitting machines which convert raw materials into fabric, a dye house and a complete Finishing Department. Customer fabrics are used in a variety of products including: paint rollers and buffing pads, performance clothing liners, footwear liners, gloves and air filtration filters.  Finishing capabilities include starching, coating, shearing, napping, tumbling, slitting and commission finishing.
