About Us
We Build for Innovation
Upstate Knitters
Upstate Knitters is a vertically integrated textile manufacturer specializing in wide-format circular knit fabrics for signage, bedding, and home furnishing applications. Since our beginnings in manufacturing in 1975, we have built our business around precision, consistency, and long-term partnerships. Today, we combine decades of textile expertise with modern knitting technology to deliver innovative fabrics that perform reliably at scale.
Relationships & Reliability
Our manufacturing operations in Egypt allow us to serve U.S. and global customers with competitive pricing, reduced tariff exposure, and dependable lead times. Every roll we ship includes documented quality control sheets to ensure transparency and traceability, giving our customers confidence from production through installation. With streamlined logistics and a focus on speed, we support fast turnaround requirements without compromising quality.
Experience & Technical Depth
With nearly five decades of hands-on manufacturing experience, we understand textiles at the machine, yarn, and application level. Our capabilities span wide circular knits engineered for dye sublimation and digital printing, as well as specialized constructions for flame-retardant mattress socks, cooling knit sheets, mattress protectors, upholstery, and other performance-driven home furnishing products. This depth allows us to support both high-volume production and specialized use cases.
Accountability & Quality Assurance
Quality is non-negotiable. Our process includes three dedicated quality control checkpoints throughout production and finishing to ensure rolls meet industry standards for consistency, performance, and appearance. In the rare event that a roll does not meet accepted QC standards, we stand behind our product and issue appropriate credits. Accountability is built into how we operate, not treated as an exception.
