A&E, Adding Value Through Expert Assistance   A&E's TQM philosophy says that the customer is our partner and meeting our partner's needs must be our first priority.  We build relationships in order to better understand our customer's requirements.  Then, we work to exceed those requirements, adding value to our products and services.  A thorough study of our partners application may prompt us to refine a particular thread or to change the way we package or deliver it.

Our Technical Services Department adds value each time it offers our customers expert assistance.  Each member of this advisory team has many years experience in the cut-and-sew industry and is is well-qualified to answer questions about thread choices and to diagnose the causes of sewing room difficulties.  They are also available to assist you in areas such as:

  • Measuring Thread Performance (ANETRAK®)
  • Product Development
  • Thread Selection and Application
  • Sewing Problems
  • Seam Break Analysis
  • Thread Surveys
  • Thread Consumption Analyses
  • Cost Analyses
  • Thread Education Seminars
  • Quality Data Collection

Our technicians are as close as your telephone or email.  Or, if needed, A&E will provide an on-site analysis and consultation. (We have representatives in Canada, Mexico, England/Europe, Hong Kong, and Costa Rica/Latin America.) The Technical Services Department also provides bulletins to our customers for specific problems. For example, we have several general bulletins and flyers available on our web site. For more specific technical bulletins, send a request by e-mail to our Technical Services department.

A&E.  There is a difference
®.  It's customer support you can count on.
