Domestically made nonwovens target automotive aftermarket
July 15, 2025

AJ Nonwovens is relaunching Multipile, a versatile, high-performance nonwoven product designed to meet the evolving needs of the Auto Aftermarket. Now made with sustainable materials and manufactured in the U.S., Multipile delivers a reliable, domestic alternative to imported substrates—without sacrificing quality or performance.
Multipile is engineered for durable applications including automotive buffing pads, abrasives backings and other technical uses. With increasing demand for environmentally responsible sourcing and shortened supply chains, AJ Nonwovens’ latest iteration of Multipile offers customers a domestically-made option in a traditionally import-heavy category.
The relaunched Multipile also complements AJ Nonwovens’ Spectropile product line, giving customers a broader range of pile products to meet diverse application needs. Like Spectropile, Multipile is available in a variety of colors, allowing customers to match their brand identity or product differentiation requirements with ease.
“We listened to our customers and recognized the market’s need for a domestically produced, high-quality alternative that’s also environmentally conscious,” says Chris Fritch, Director of Technical Products at AJ Nonwovens. “The relaunch of Multipile reflects our commitment to product innovation, operational flexibility, and support for the American manufacturing sector.”
As global supply chain challenges and sustainability targets reshape the industry, AJ Nonwovens is investing in solutions that offer performance, availability, and peace of mind. Multipile is available in multiple weights, colors, and constructions, allowing customers to tailor the product to their specific requirements.
