Leading the world in braiding technology
A&P designs and builds its own braiding and support equipment, housing the largest line of braiding equipment in the world including an 864 carrier machine. To fulfill customer needs, A&P has invested heavily in the development of state-of-the-art machinery that can be built in weeks to support high volume applications. For example, a customer part required fabrication of a quasi-isotropic fabric at a specific areal weight which required a 700 carrier braiding machine, a size A&P did not have at the time. To support its customer’s timeline, A&P designed, built and began running a new 700 carrier machine (50’ in diameter) in eight days.

Sales & Engineering Support
Most of A&P’s customer interactions begin with a salesperson and an application engineer. A&P’s application engineers are uniquely positioned to design a material solution to meet both performance and manufacture requirements. Beginning at the design phase, A&P’s engineers work closely with its customers to identify the best product form for the application – sleeving, fabric or preform. The product form is chosen based on manufacturing needs and part performance requirements.
