Top Defense Contract Manufacturer Since The 1980s
Vinyl Technology is a defense manufacturing contractor that produces many of the demanding Mil-Spec soft goods (sewn products) and air holding or polymer film products that are used in today’s industry. These include dry gear products for Army ground forces as well as fighter pilot anti-G suits for the Air Force and Navy.
The textiles and films are used together or separately, depending on product specifications, to keep gear, soldiers, and pilots safe.

Self-Inflating Mattress
A self-inflating mat, or self-inflating air mattress, is a commercial and defense contract-manufactured product.
The mattress is created by installing a layer of compressible foam inside an airtight vacuum enclosed in fabric, which is then closed off by a sealable valve. The air mattress self-inflates when you open the valve, allowing air to rush into the mat, expanding the foam layered inside. VTL is a custom defense contract manufacturer that creates custom self-inflating mats and mattresses for defense and commercial use.
Mask Carrier Bag
As chemical weapons continued to be a threat back at the turn of the millennium, US troops needed to be protected and were armed with gas masks. At the same time, the US government required custom defense contract manufacturing for a durable, high-quality bag in high volume.
They ultimately selected VTL for their defense contract manufacturing.
The investment in manufacturing the required volume was significant, but VTL stepped up and purchased an ETON material delivery system to ensure steady volume over the long length of the contract. That material delivery system is still in use today, making the same product at a sustained volume and to very demanding specifications.
Anti-G Suits
Vinyl Technology specializes in the creation of Anti-G Suits for the US Air Force.
As a defense contract manufacturer, VTL also produced a simpler version pressurized flight suit known as the Cutaway Anti-G suit, a wrap-around, chap-style garment. However, due to the increased performance of the U.S.’s flight arsenal, the ATAGS has replaced much of the legacy suit’s use.
Why Choose VTL For Your Defense Contract Manufacturing?
Why Choose VTL For Your Defense Contract Manufacturing?
VTL provided the effort needed to manufacture a high-quality, high-precision, and highly reliable pressurized anti-G suit to two branches of the US Armed Forces.
The Navy, Air Force, and Air Force Thunderbirds selected VTL as a defense manufacturer for the Advanced Technology Anti-Gravity Suit (ATAGS) for their pilots. The garment is a life-critical product that must pressurize on demand without leaking or rupturing. VTL has been trusted to produce the air-holding pressurized trousers for this suit for over 10 years. Other suppliers of this suit have been vetted and pared down. VTL is often the sole supplier of this product due to the complexity of its defense manufacturing.
VTL complies with government and DoD required standards to include the Berry Amendment, NIST, ITAR, and FAR/DFARS.
