The most advanced materials in human spaceflight are soft goods: textiles and composites, meticulously sewn, bonded, and sealed by people who know failure isn’t an option.

Sure, reindustrializing America and manufacturing fabrics for defense and space is crucial and epic, but topping it off with a killer long-sleeve shirt available to anyone? Just next level @anatar!

American manufacturing. Grown here. Sewn here. Get your limited-edition long-sleeve while they last at store.anatar.com.

By working directly with American farmers, Anatar is returning the economic value of American cotton to American hands. We support the @USDA’s Great American Cotton Plan to strengthen America’s cotton supply chain and revive rural communities.

First look at our automated assembly line. Engineered to produce one garment every 22 seconds, it operates 24 hours a day with a single operator. This unit will be demonstrated in North Carolina before installation at our Atlanta facility.

Working on combat uniforms for the US Army today. See us at booth #423 at FEDTEX to learn how Anatar is automating textile manufacturing for the U.S. military and NATO-allied forces.

Join us at FEDTEX, the Federal and Defense Textile and Tactical Equipment Summit, on May 19-20 in Raleigh.

We’re building the infrastructure for humanity’s next chapter with our celestial neighbor. With customers spanning multiple branches of the military and commercial space industry, Anatar is positioned to meet significant demand in 2027.

Anatar, pioneering the textile factory of the future by solving the impossible.

Shipped the first prototype of AMIE, Anatar's AI materials discovery engine. Powered by Materials Project (Berkeley Lab), Semantic Scholar (Allen AI), ArXiv, and Claude. AMIE enables AI-driven discovery of novel composites and functional coatings for aerospace and defense.

NASA has identified soft goods, advanced composites, non-flammable materials, and dust-tolerant soft-sided logistics systems as critical technology gaps for the Moon Base program. The need for advanced textiles goes beyond clothing. It extends to habitats, covering everything from wall panels to storage bags. Nonwovens, felts, webbings, zippers, sewing threads, coatings, finishes, foams, and elastics. A complete soft good is accurately described as an engineered system, often termed "technical soft goods," which blends material science, industrial design, and manufacturing strategy to create durable, high-performance items. Far from simple sewn textiles, these products are designed to perform specific, often demanding functions under pressure.

Anatar is hiring a Government Contracts Manager. You’ll own our federal contracting portfolio end-to-end across DoD and prime integrator channels. FAR/DFARS fluency is non-negotiable. If this fits your background, my DMs are open.

Weaving the future of manufacturing.

Site selection for our first automated textile Gigafactory is underway in Atlanta.

Mount Vernon Mills is one of the oldest and last surviving denim mills in the United States, producing tens of millions of yards of denim annually. We're proud to build on that legacy and carry the American textile industry into the next century. @anatar

The U.S. textile industry is among the most consequential and least commemorated chapters in our nation's industrial history. America's first successful water-powered textile mill opened in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1790, built on the machinery knowledge Samuel Slater brought from England. In 1793, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin while living on a plantation near Savannah, and the industry's center of gravity began its long migration south. The movement of knowledge, capital, and architecture from established industrial centers (particularly New England) into the Piedmont region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries transformed the area from a largely agricultural landscape into a dominant industrial powerhouse, particularly in textiles. By the mid-19th century, Augusta was marketed as “the Lowell of the South," its mills and canals explicitly modeled on the water-powered factories of Massachusetts, while North and South Carolina built their own dense mill towns in parallel. It was an era of extremes that saw both the introduction of electrification and the development of ‘mill villages," where factory workers—many of them women and children—worked nearly 12-hour days in the mills, fueling years of labor unrest. Atlanta sat inside that emerging mill belt. The Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills grew from a post–Civil War bag-making operation into one of the city's largest industrial employers. By 1900, ninety-eight textile mills were operating across Georgia alone. For more than two centuries, this sector employed millions of working families, supplied textiles and uniforms in multiple major American conflicts, and demonstrated what sovereign domestic industrial capacity can mean to a country in crisis. Since its peak around 1979, the U.S. textile and apparel sector has lost more than 80 percent of its manufacturing jobs, falling from well over two million positions to roughly 270,000 today. At Anatar, we believe that history must be documented, understood, and honored. ThreadingAmerica.com — coming soon.

The White House just authorized Defense Production Act Title III funding for American textile manufacturing. Expanding access to DPA Title III funding strengthens the foundation of America’s textile supply chain. It reduces foreign dependencies and strengthens our ability to equip and protect U.S. servicemembers in every theater of operation. The Berry Amendment requires the Department of Defense to source 100% U.S.-made textiles and apparel. Today, that domestic base delivers over $1.8 billion each year in uniforms, armor, footwear, and individual equipment to America’s armed forces. It supports production of more than 8,000 textile items and 30,000 total line-items when including size variations. At @anatar, we're taking this challenge head-on, building infrastructure that ensures our warfighters have reliable access to the gear they need, when and where they need it. Fight's on!

Excellent conversation with @Matt_Horine about Reindustrialization We discuss @ctindale concept of State vs Stateless Capitalism, why gloves are important for manufacturing and others pursuing “boring” industries like @anatar Appreciate @JohnGardnerVoH for connecting us.

In the 1960s, 95% of the apparel Americans wore was made in the USA. Today, that number is just 2%. In one lifetime, we went from being the world’s textile & apparel powerhouse to being entirely dependent on foreign supply.
