Technical & Performance Textiles Financing
Technical and industrial textile manufacturers buy fiber and yarn up front, run weaving and finishing, and wait 60–90 days for industrial and OEM buyers. Factoring against OEM receivables and PO financing on fiber keep production running.
You're buying polyester, nylon, aramid, or glass fiber, running weaving, knitting, nonwoven, and finishing lines, and shipping to industrial, automotive, medical, and defense buyers who pay 60–90 days later. Fiber is bought now; the cash comes back slowly.
Your industrial and OEM receivables are strong credits — they just pay on their schedule, not yours. Factoring turns approved invoices into cash so the next fiber buy and finishing run isn't gated by the last invoice outstanding.
We work with lenders who understand technical textiles, fiber volatility, and the difference between commodity and performance fabrics. We match your customer mix to factoring and PO financing on fiber.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Technical & Performance Textiles files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Top-customer / OEM list and aged AR
Industrial, automotive, and defense buyer concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. Defense and medical buyers underwrite tightly.
Fiber / yarn supplier list (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your fiber, yarn, and chemical finish suppliers directly against a confirmed order. We need PO copies and supplier bank details up front.
Trailing 12 months of financials and fiber-cost exposure
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and fiber as % of COGS. Long-term fiber contracts and import detail matter.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
Looms, warp knit, nonwoven lines, finishing ranges, and coating lines finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
Quality system status (ISO 9001 / OEKO-TEX / defense spec)
ISO 9001 is baseline; defense and medical specs add diligence. Open nonconformances require a response but rarely disqualify.
Import / trade and Incoterms detail
Imported fiber and exported fabric need country, Incoterms, and tariff detail. Export factoring is available for creditworthy foreign buyers.
