Frankl & Thomas was founded in 1946 as Ernest L. Frankl Corp. The Frankls

were Germans from an old textile family. Frankl was the first American company

to import European textile machinery after WW II. The company prospered with

the American textile industry. It merged with Heberlein North America in 1980.

A. W. Thomas, III former Vice President of U.S. Textile Machine Co. and

former President of Utex, Inc. purchased the company in 1986 and renamed it

Frankl & Thomas, Inc. At that time the company specialized in products for the

manufacture and processing of synthetic fibers.

As the textile industry has changed so has F&T. Today products for synthetic

fibers are still important. The company also sells OEM quality spare parts and

provides technical service for modern weaving machines. It specializes in parts

for Sulzer projectile weaving machines. Cots and aprons and yarn sensors are

important products for yarn processing. F&T represents Finlane' Group which

owns the long staple processing machinery lines Cognetex, Sant'Andrea and

Seydel. It also sells Lamberti chemicals to the textile and paper industries.
