Machine Clothing
The Machine Clothing segment includes two product families of fabrics and belts: Paper Machine Clothing and Engineered Fabrics.
 

Albany International is the world’s leading producer of Paper Machine Clothing (PMC), which consists of solution-focused, custom-designed fabrics and belts that are critical for the formation and transport of the paper sheet through the paper machine. Although PMC represents a small proportion (approximately 2 percent) of the total cost to manufacture paper, paperboard, pulp, or tissue, it can have a significant impact on the quality of the paper, the efficiency of a machine, and machine production rates.
Engineered Fabrics also consists of solution-focused, custom-designed fabrics and belts, but are utilized in processes outside of papermaking such as nonwovens, corrugators, and the building products and tannery and textile industries.
