Resilience at Every Layer - Strengthening the digital backbone of a leading textile manufacturer

A large textile manufacturer is a U.S.-based leader in the design, production, and global distribution of advanced fire-retardant materials for the bedding, automotive, healthcare, and consumer products industries.

Headquartered in the U.S., the company operates a large, integrated manufacturing campus that includes a state-of-the-art laboratory, factory, and warehouse, supported by multiple domestic and international warehouse locations.

With deep investments in R&D, sustainability initiatives, and precision manufacturing, the company relies on an IT foundation that is as reliable, resilient, and scalable as the products it delivers to customers worldwide.

Founded in 1987, the manufacturer has built a reputation around engineering excellence, safety-first innovation, and compliance-driven manufacturing.

The organization is widely recognized for developing high-performance, environmentally responsible nonwoven and laminate solutions that meet some of the most stringent flammability and quality standards in the industry.

THE CHALLENGE

As the company expanded its footprint across multiple locations, its IT environment struggled to keep pace with the realities of modern manufacturing operations. Various departments and teams relied heavily on connected systems, yet the underlying infrastructure was showing its age.

1. An unreliable and fragmented network spanning multiple facilities

2. Inconsistent security controls and limited visibility into threats

3. Endpoints vulnerable to modern ransomware and disruptions

4. Inefficient network segmentation impacting performance and security

5. Minimal proactive monitoring, leading to reactive IT firefighting

6. Limited backup and recovery readiness for critical systems

7. Aging server infrastructure that increased operational risk

For a manufacturer operating in safety-critical and compliance-driven industries, downtime, data loss, or security incidents were not acceptable risks. Leadership needed a stable foundation, one that supported growth without compromising reliability.
