This excerpt is from a corporate video created for Adkins & Pearce.  The Atkins & Pearce story begins in 1817 with the company’s founders, John and Henry Pearce, two artists with an entrepreneurial spirit and an eye for invention. They  devised an adaptation of the cotton gin and were so pleased with it  they decided to manufacture it that same year.

Today, the company explores the structural properties of textiles (strength, flexibility, heat resistance, etc) for new applications to provide a wider range of products.  High performance technical textiles can now be designed to provide cost competitive solutions to steel cable that are stronger and less elastic.
