New Richmond, WI – Federal Foam Technologies, Inc. will be acquiring the assets of the Modern Quilters operations located at 62038 MN Highway 24, Litchfield, MN 55355.
Modern Quilters was started in 1950 in Minneapolis, MN to service and support the Outerwear Industry, which was a major part of the Textile Industry in the United States, at that time.
From 1950-1990, Modern Quilters grew their outerwear business, during which time, expanding the quilting product line to include furniture pads, materials for oven mitts, pot holders, horse blankets, and other unique and specialty products.
In 1990, Modern Quilters moved to Litchfield, MN into a facility that better served their growing business needs. In 1996, the company installed their first flame laminator, as a response to requests from footwear customers to offer an alternative to quilted boot linings. By 2002, the laminating business was expanding into a variety of markets that included after-market automotive, agricultural industry, recreational vehicles and other miscellaneous industrial applications. In 2008, Modern Quilters installed a second flame laminator to handle increased sales and guarantee a continuous supply of product to their established and growing customer base. Since then, Modern Quilters continued to expand its production of quilting goods, along with expanding their laminating competences.
Relocating Modern Quilter’s capabilities into our Cokato, MN factory, within the structure of our core business capabilities, will give FFT a stronger presence in corresponding markets, and further strengthen our mission as a world class supplier of custom flexible fabricated articles and supplies.
