Delaware Valley Corporation offers needle punch fabric and nonwoven fabric solutions for the transportation industry. With over 70 years of experience, the company supplies dependable textile products that meet demanding requirements for comfort, performance, and longevity.
Transportation vehicles face daily use and environmental stress. Interior components must deliver consistent quality without adding unnecessary weight or cost. Delaware Valley’s needle punch and nonwoven fabrics meet these demands through a combination of strength, acoustic control, and design flexibility for a wide range of transportation sectors, from personal vehicles to commercial fleets.
Automotive Aftermarket
The automotive aftermarket relies on materials that can match original specifications while meeting price and durability targets. Our needle punch fabric and nonwoven fabric applications include:
- Automotive carpets (face-structured surfaces and secondary backings)
- Trunk liners
- Headliners and interior liners
- Speaker covers and sound barriers
- Upholstery and insulation
These materials contribute to a lighter vehicle weight, which supports energy efficiency, especially for electric models. They also offer thermal resistance, sound absorption, and design flexibility. Textiles are available in various face structures, finishes, and bonding methods to suit both performance and appearance goals. The result is a consistent, functional, and visually appealing component that aligns with customer expectations.
Automotive OEM
Delaware Valley partners with major automotive OEMs such as General Motors, Ford, and FCA. Our nonwoven fabrics are used across a wide range of production vehicles, including those in the electric segment.
These textiles support acoustic and thermal management, especially in battery compartments and underbody areas. Lightweight construction helps meet fuel economy and performance targets. Products include solution-dyed polypropylene carpet, cargo mats, thermal barriers laminated to heat shields, and acoustic panels. All are engineered to meet specific technical requirements while supporting consistent production and long-term reliability.
Product Examples:
- Replacement Carpet: 12–24 oz. solution-dyed polypropylene, velour face, fused or unbonded back.
- Cargo Mats: 18 oz. velour face with fused back.
- Thermal Barriers: 24 oz. flat punch, laminated to reflective heat shields.
- Acoustic Barriers: 24 oz. flat punch, heat-set for enhanced noise control.
Buses and Trucks
Delaware Valley also serves commercial transportation vehicles, including buses and trucks, which require fabrics that can handle continuous use, vibration, temperature shifts, and long service life.
For buses, applications include seating, luggage rack coverings, wall panels, floors, and insulation. Comfort and durability are essential for both passengers and maintenance teams. The company’s needle punch and nonwoven fabrics resist wear and are easy to clean, helping operators maintain fleet appearance over time.
For trucks, materials are used in sleeper cab panels, cargo linings, and underbody protection. These areas need durable textiles that can reduce outside noise and support thermal insulation. Nonwoven fabrics in these applications help improve rest quality for drivers and contribute to better cabin conditions.
