FAMILY BUSINESS
At MMI, the textile business is all in the family. Our owner and founder, Amy Bircher, was raised in the textile industry. As a youngster, she started working for her father and stepmother, Jim and Karen Bircher, at National Dye Works in Lynchburg, South Carolina. Amy earned a Bachelor of Science in Textiles from West Virginia University in 1993.
In January 2007, Jim and Karen Bircher retired and MMI purchased NDW Textiles.
GROWTH
Amy Bircher founded MMI Textiles in September of 1997. MMI started as a manufacturer’s representative serving six Midwestern states and handling sales for Tape Craft Corporation, NDW Textiles, Inc., and Wirewright Mfg. MMI branched out to represent ten states by 2001. In 2002, we started distributing product lines that complemented existing MMI lines, providing our customers with reliable sourcing at competitive prices.
As a company, we have rapidly grown. We now oversee the production of our own stock and custom products—many of which are 100% Made in the USA. We own trademarks on the names of many of our products, and a patent on our Printed Narrow CTEdge® Webbing & Binding Tape.
We opened our first manufacturing facility in Lenoir, NC in 2021. MMI's Narrow Weaving Plant will focus on weaving mil-spec webbing and elastic. The following year, we opened our new 45,000 sq. ft. headquarters and distribution center in Brooklyn, OH.
PARTNERSHIPS
Our resource base has grown to include more than 250 suppliers on 3 continents. We work with these suppliers on a continual basis through long-term partnerships. We carefully oversee the quality of our components in each product.
MMI Textiles is a strong provider in the government contract arena, proudly selling many products that are used in support of our U.S. troops and other government agencies.
Our solid vendor partnerships, increasing resources, and commitment to our customers ensure that MMI will continue to grow!
