Boyd Technologies, Dynamic Partner in Nonwovens Manufacturing

Print Story | Email Story
South Lee - At a time when many companies in the nonwovens manufacturing industry are shifting their focus to overseas production investment and second-guessing U.S. marketplace trends, Boyd Technologies is taking an innovative path. A newly launched Internet website, boydtech.com, has been designed to support the company's growth initiatives through a dual track of showcasing its achievements on both a domestic and international scale.

"We feel so positive about the opportunities for our expertise and inherent value to current and future applications in the marketplace that we are taking an aggressive approach toward fortifying our presence in the nonwovens industry," said Bronly Boyd, the founder, owner and CEO of Boyd Technologies. The company provides expertise in manufacturing and marketing nonwovens by developing and utilizing breakthrough technologies for small-scale customers who are entrepreneurs and inventors as well as large-scale customers who provide products in the consumer goods, medical filtration, electrical capacitor, apparel, building materials, industrial wipes, co-packing and other areas.

The 28-year-old, once traditional converting company has adopted a non-conformist, broad-minded view of striving toward a leadership position in its field through a recently adopted approach of reinventing itself. According to Boyd, few others in the industry are willing to invest in a diverse set of manufacturing and production models to keep a presence in multiple markets in the U.S. as well as overseas.

Underscoring this new company philosophy is the recent acquisition by Boyd Technologies of Wellington Custom Fabrics, a domestic supplier of high-quality fabrics to the apparel industry, based in Columbus, Georgia. Wellington Custom Fabrics is featured on the new website as an example of the bold, open-minded growth philosophy asserted by Boyd.

"We can be a catalyst for industry efficiency and growth on a larger scale, through working with a variety of integrated partners in a wide variety of vertically integrated ways, and we are reaching out to do just this," said Stephen Boyd, COO of the company. "We know we're good at what we do, we know we have tremendous expertise to share, and we know how to profitably manage operations -- for ourselves and others. We have a long-term interest in investing in the future success of our industry, so we're stepping out and claiming a more dynamic industry role," he continued.

The company presents the site as a transparent source of information for industry professionals seeking to learn about Boyd's unique approach to serving emerging technologies, presenting entrepreneurial management opportunities, offering manufacturing and application solutions, partnering in the development of intellectual property, and driving breakthrough market innovations.

"It's an important step toward opening up and initiating communication at every level," said Andrew Diamond, VP of Business Development. "We hope it gives our current and potential business partners new insight into where we're headed and what our capabilities are. While not every business opportunity will fit our ideal for integrated, holistic growth, our newly designed Internet website acts as the catalyst to have the discussion and explore innovative solutions," he said.

Boyd Technologies operates manufacturing firms in the nonwovens industry and markets breakthrough technologies that use those materials. The company is dedicated to safe, clean and healthy products and processes. Boyd Technologies believes that entrepreneurs have the opportunity and responsibility to improve the world with new business solutions. Visit the new website at boydtech.com
