ATC’s AmeriFill Division Offers Dependable Domestic Fill Service
September 2, 2024
The utility and fashion pillow category has transformed into one of the most competitive segments in the business, as major players have realigned, facing financial and logistical issues even as global sourcing channels continue to be challenged.
Despite these challenges, American Textile Company has remained steadfast, having offered their well-known, reliable, and cost-efficient service for nearly a century.
Launched over ten years ago, customers who work with AmeriFill “benefit from the decades of expertise in the utility bedding space, as well as the size and strength of ATC’s capabilities throughout the United States,” according to AmeriFill’s President and ATC Executive Vice President, Blake Ruttenberg.
Megan Metzger, Director of the AmeriFill Division, notes that “AmeriFill’s speed-to-market capabilities are a decided advantage, especially as overseas supply chains become increasingly costly, volatile, and less reliable.” She specifies that their “U.S. domestic footprint puts 93 percent of the country within 600 miles of one of our AmeriFill facilities, ensuring efficient freight and distribution to every major retailer in North America. And thus, allowing retailers to proactively respond to consumer demand versus waiting on an import product to arrive in stores.”
Conveniently, AmeriFill’s capabilities have a broad range, not only filling bed and body pillows, but also extending to the fashion market, including decorative pillows and the pet space, especially pet beds. AmeriFill is able to fill anything that requires a polyester fill.
AmeriFill will be available in the ATC showroom at 230 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1500, at the September New York Home Fashion Market Week. To make an appointment and get more information on the company, visit our website https://www.americantextile.com/capabilities/contract-manufacturing/.
