Precision Textiles has recently partnered with a well-regarded latex producer that provides quality natural organic, ECO Institute, and GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) certified Dunlap latex products.

The assortment of quilt rolls, cores, and toppers will allow Precision to assist their customers produce a wide array of finished natural mattress designs. Through this partnership, along with Precision Textiles’ distribution system, latex components can be supplied in smaller quantities to better assist our client’s evolving needs.

“When a leading supplier of latex closed its plant in the U.S. last year, we started hearing from our customers that they were facing challenges getting product efficiently. After a detailed examination of this opportunity, and recent market trends, adding a GOLS certified latex product to our product portfolio was a perfect fit and would allow us to be a more valuable supplier to our customers,” said Bob O’Connell, EVP of marketing Precision Textiles. 

“Precision Textiles is always looking for innovative ways to remain at the forefront of the industry and provide solutions that allow our customers to grow their respective businesses. With limited warehouse space and restrictions on available capital, we can provide a more cost-effective supply program to that of other latex suppliers,” he added.

Precision has built its reputation in the mattress industry through its innovative development of products to address CFR 1633 compliance requirements, with a variety of solutions that offer the proper flame-retardant protection associated with its latex mattress designs.
