Who could say no to a quick peek at some amzing polyester info?

A shout out to all my beloved readers and fans of 1.5 inch seat belt webbing - Read more!

I, Roger Howard, have come with yet one other unusual write up that is going to leave you eagerly watching for more (if I may say so myself). While I spent most of my time this week dealing with our Industrial Shipping Demonstration 2016 webbing material exhibit, my extra hours after that were all invested in delving deep within the enigma and exhilaration of what is trending in the polyester manufacturer and webbing company categories. Incidentally, we're still collecting any and all pictures, videos, and technical designs (especially trucking tarps and cargo net webbing). Really eager to build a gallery that will leave our disciples spell bound and merrily clicking thru our gallery.

Oh, and if you have captivating tall tales and effective applications of narrow seat belt webbing, of course send me an email so we can talk about it.

Undoubtedly I could talk for hours on all these matters, but let's buckle up and get into the legitimate set of issues, okay? You are going to love this current post (just a little bawdy, but that's my style).

It's a fait accompli in the poly web material business sector that entreprenuers like us need to network and build out our relationships each and every week. I was at our territorial Chamber of Commerce meeting two days ago and met a new member recently relocated from Washington, DC. He's performed closely with poly web material matters in the Fiber Economics Bureau (FEB) for many years.

To be truthful, I must confess that I certainly never was aware of the Fiber Economics Bureau (humiliating, yes, I know). It seemed like a perfect opportunity to share an overview with you all (on the outside chance that a few of you may be curious about the "FEB" as was I :-).

The Exclusive Source of Information on Manufactured Fibers

Since 1935, the Fiber Economics Bureau (FEB) has been the ONLY source of direct statistics on the United States manufactured fiber industry and its products — acrylic, nylon, polyester, olefin, rayon, glass fiber, and others. Our long-established contacts with fiber producers and our confidential handling of proprietary data has earned us respect and cooperation from manufactured fiber producers around the world.

Our two monthly publications, the Fiber Organon and the Manufactured Fiber Review, present the latest information on industry trends in easy-to-read tables and charts. This data on production, shipments, capacities, stocks, imports-exports, mill use and other key industry statistics is made available 15 to 30 days after the close of each month.

Our premier data service is the Manufactured Fiber Handbook. It is distributed in page-by-page updates in a loose-leaf binder format designed for those who need the most timely, comprehensive, and in-depth data on the industry. The service includes details on primary and secondary end use shipments. Special data compilations are available for subscribers covering years prior to the start of new subscriptions.

Our annual World Directory of Manufactured Fiber Producers is the only directory with global coverage. It contains over 1,500 fiber producer listings in 72 countries. For each producer we provide details on addresses, telephone/fax numbers, plant locations, products produced, and trade names.

As you can imagine, there are VOLUMES more that could be shared about the FEB, but I'll cease fire there. You're 100% welcome to visit their site and dig deeper, becuase they have a huge library of truly fabulous info.

Since seatbelt webbing work is my professional life, I did a bit of a dig about on their website, and it made me remember a textbook that I loved from university days. So up I went into my attic storage, and pulled down all five cardboard crates full of notebooks, engineering posters, magazines, and books.

Watch this space my friends... because my assistant and I have more articles in the queue nearly ready to share in the days to come. Cheers!
