National Textile Industries has been supplying broadcloth and trimmings since 1958. It is a third generation family business started when Sal Gagliano and his father Thomas launched the small trimming house, National Bias Binding, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

Today, National Textile Industries converts poly-cotton broadcloth for manufacturers making everything from home furnishings to medical products. Their bias binding division produces approximately 295 million yards of trimming a year.

National Textile Industries has developed a remarkable reputation in the industry for their quality fabric and their in stock program of over 150 solid colors. At the 2022 Material World show, they introduced a new line of Poplin, Twill, Duck, Neon and Gingham Check fabrics to meet the ever increasing demands of the market.

The Gagliano family is actively involved in all aspects of company operations. They believe that their philosophy and tradition has kept the business thriving for over 63 years, promoting the same critically important message: design it here, create it here, make it here, build it here, sew it here, sell it here, buy it here, buy American Made.
