As a privately-held, family-run business with deep industry roots and strong relationships, we control all elements of our specialty textile manufacturing process from warping to dyeing to finishing. This has enabled us to provide our customers with an unparalleled level of customization, responsiveness and quality at the lowest costs. We strive to meet any unique need. For more than three decades, Orbit Industries has been the supplier of choice of those who expect the most from a textile partner.
We own and operate a manufacturing center in historic Gloversville, NY, a charming small city that is a gateway to the Adirondack Mountains. Orbit is proud to employee approximately 90 skilled and dedicated technicians and to be a part of Gloversville’s economic recovery.
An adventure of over 60 years
Orbit was founded in 1953 by Aaron Schur in The Bronx, NY. Originally set up as a commission dye house, the company grew to being a top supplier of warp knit fabrics. With a commitment to our values and to family legacy, Aaron’s grandson, Marc Schur, took over the business in 2000.
After running Orbit for a number of years, Marc ascertained that the only way to provide his customers with the best price, delivery schedules, quality, and level of customization was to have complete control of all facets of production. In 2009 he entered into a strategic partnership that enabled us to do just that.
Sourcing yarn from around the world, Orbit has its own warping, knitting, dyeing, and finishing at its state-of-the-art facility in historic Gloversville, NY. Having all of our production under one roof allows us to provide all of the services of a large textile company while still being able to react nimbly and swiftly to our customers changing needs.
