SSM Industries is a Tennessee-based textile manufacturer specializing in protective fabrics, including flame resistant, cut resistant, and thermal materials. Founded in 1982 by Bill Hilleary, its first product was Nomex simplex knit for military flight gloves, a fabric that remains in production today to protect pilots and tank crews. Based in Spring City, the company operates as a full-service safety fabric producer with knitting, weaving, dyeing, and finishing all done in-house, alongside yarn spinning, an in-house military-certified testing lab, and ongoing research and development.

The company focuses on solving protective needs across diverse applications rather than promoting a single fabric, starting from inherently FR fibers and creating multiple constructions, including treatment of non-FR fibers like cotton to achieve permanent flame resistance such as Pro-Cfr. It serves customers across various industries that require protective textiles and, in doing so, combines material development with testing and quality control within its integrated facilities in Spring City, Tennessee.
