BGF Industries, Inc.
Location
BGF Industries has pursued excellence in every endeavor and in every product developed for customers throughout the world.
Since 1885, we have progressed from our early days as a producer of fine silk fabrics, to a leader in the industry manufacturing fiberglass and other high performance fabrics for an ever-growing range of industries. The common denominator in every phase of growth has been a profound commitment to research and new product development.
BGF's lineage began in 1885, when Hess Goldsmith & Company was founded in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to weave fine silks. By the early 1920's Hess Goldsmith & Company was one of the country's leading silk goods manufacturers and had begun to experiment with the difficult new fibers, equipment, and weaving processes involved in the production of crepe de chine, rayon, and woven nylon.
