Space Suit Manufacturer and Contractor
Vinyl Technology is a space suit manufacturer that builds suits for the critical application of protecting individuals from the rigors of space flight. Space suits built at Vinyl Technology rely on decades of experience with high-performance industrial sewing and RF welding. We work with space suit material engineered for life-threatening conditions, including extreme temperatures, pressure differentials, and potential impact with micrometeoroids. Every stitch and seal contributes to the protection of the person inside, as there is no margin for error.
We understand how specialized these American space suits need to be. Our facility handles coated and laminated fabrics like urethane and polyvinyl chloride, used in layers to manage oxygen retention, mobility, and durability. We’re building sealed systems that protect lives during launch, orbit, or even just walking across the tarmac during space suit testing.
We’re proud to build American space suit components in a California-based facility. Our team of space suit manufacturers brings aerospace expertise, materials experience, and military-grade quality control to every order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Space Suit Manufacturing
What materials are used in space suit manufacturing?
Space suits use layered materials like urethane-coated nylon, Teflon, neoprene, and aluminized Mylar for protection, mobility, and life support.
Does Vinyl Technology manufacture the entire space suit?
Vinyl Technology is a space suit manufacturer that uses specific components and subassemblies for suits used in space or training. These go through rigorous inspection processes before integration.
Are these space suits pressurized?
Yes. Space suits are designed to hold internal pressure so the human body can function in environments without breathable air.
What’s the difference between a training suit and an American space suit?
Training suits replicate the fit and feel of actual flight suits but may not use the same materials or life-support hardware.
Can you make custom suit parts for new programs?
Yes. We work with engineering teams to manufacture custom components based on specific performance and durability requirements.
Is everything made in the USA?
Yes. Vinyl Technology is a Berry Compliant manufacturer, supplying American-made space suits with all work completed at our facility in California.
What industries do you support beyond space?
Vinyl Technology is a custom manufacturer that also supports military, medical, and industrial safety clients who require high-performance sealed systems.
