Theo Pattipeiluhu and Peter de Bakker founded TP Industrial Yarns in 2001 out of their garage as a start-up trading company. Their combined 40 years’ experience in the world of high-tenacity textiles has helped grow TP into a full-service global provider with its own production and testing facilities. Our team of about 30 highly skilled and experienced professionals are here to provide you with the best in high-performance yarn solutions, every time. TP has established itself as a leader in the global industrial yarns market. We fabricate our own solutions at facilities in the Netherlands. Our hands-on approach has helped guarantee effectiveness and efficiency for over 20 years.

TP stands out because we maintain control of every step from production to sourcing to delivery. Where others forfeit this level of control and oversight by outsourcing their products, we can guarantee quality and customizability by developing solutions in our storage and production facilities in the Netherlands. We begin by sourcing the best individual yarns from our global network of partners. All our producers are ISO-certified and have proven track records of industry excellence. Following shipment, yarns are stored in our warehousing facilities, which helps us ensure maximum efficiency, quality control and shorter delivery times. We label our yarns with customers’ barcodes to facilitate more efficient inventory management. To support our product portfolio, our production facilities are equipped with twist machines, ring twisters and rewinding machines, as well as machines to test tensile strength and elongation, shrinkage, abrasion and twist and density metrics.

At TP Industrial Yarns, we consider testing an essential part of our quality control process. We co-engineer solutions together with clients through testing at our on-site product testing lab. We carry out all testing in accordance with international standards for high-performance materials. This helps ensure products meet every customer need.

Our facilities are fully equipped, and capable of carrying out the following tests:

• Yarn on Yarn (YoY) abrasion
• Linear Density
• Hot Air Shrinkage
• Twist per meter
• Single-End Tensile Testing
• Fiber Rope Tensile Testing

We wanted to join web sling and tie down to gain more exposure to the critical narrow weaving and lifting market in the US. We are currently members of AWRF and Cordage Institute, and while they are very useful for the cordage and lifting markets, we had limited exposure to the critical webbing/weaving market in the US. We hope to be able to leverage our fiber expertise to help in these markets as we have in the cordage and lifting markets.
