In 1942, an innovative engineer at Johnson & Johnson revolutionized mosquito netting for the US Armed Forces with Dow Company synthetic filaments, establishing Lumite. Following World War II, Lumite broadened its offerings to encompass horticulture and agriculture fabrics, in line with their primary objective of suppressing the intrusion of undesired elements into controlled environments. Now, more than 80 years later, the Lumite ethos remains steadfast. Our commitment to the same unwavering work ethic and manufacturing principles endures as we design cutting-edge, superior solutions that cater to the ever-evolving needs of our discerning customers. Today, Lumite Performance Fabrics find versatile applications—from sailboats to backpacks, trampolines to pool covers, mountainsides to freeways and beyond. At Lumite Incorporated, we proudly stand as manufacturers of performance fabrics, grounded in the belief that exceeding customer expectations leads to enduring partnerships. Our success is intricately linked to the success of our customers, compelling us to act responsibly. We advocate for environmental protection, fair economic opportunities, workplace safety, and individual respect in all our endeavors.
