With more than 80 patents to the Standard Textile name, we have developed a culture of innovation. And no better example of this exists than CORE, located at our world headquarters. CORE (Concept, Operation, Results, Execution) is a one-of-a-kind, world-class textile development and processing center, and home to the industry's most advanced product development capabilities.

Here, visitors can actually see a product move from concept to execution through the following facilities:

The Advanced Concept Development Center is a scaled-down, yarn-forward vertical textile manufacturing facility capable of duplicating the same elements of fabric formation as any of our manufacturing plants around the world.

The Textile Processing and Operations Center is a full-scale commercial laundering operation that can duplicate precisely what the concept fabric will be exposed to in the field.

The Performance Measurement and Validation Laboratory is a state-of-the-art, comprehensive testing facility for textiles employing a broad spectrum of tests that can be administrated to assess a product for both physical and performance attributes.

The Prototype Production Center is a multifaceted fabrication facility that determines the most advantageous, cost-effective methods of fabrication, and a launch point for finished product specifications.
