Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) and some of its partners—including NC State, the Manufacturing & Textile Innovation Network (MTIN) and RTI International—held the first of two textile manufacturing convenings on November 9 on the Textile Technology Center’s Kimbrell Campus. The event, which focused on technology and innovation, is part of a workforce development study to determine the level of readiness N.C. textile manufacturers have to meet current and future workforce development needs.
