Our Aim

Our company aim is to be the preferred supplier of thread and related products by providing World Class quality products and services to our Customers.

Company Profile

From the company's beginnings over 100 years ago to its rise to leadership in the textile industry, quality has been the thread of continuity for American & Efird Inc. As North America's foremost manufacturer of sewing threads, our presence extends as far as Singapore and Chile. But, it is neither the number nor the scope of our international operations that make American & Efird a world class company. That distinction comes from our dedication in providing our Customers with the finest possible products and service.

While our roots in Canada are not as long, our commitment to quality is as deep as in all our operations. American & Efird Canada has embraced the principals of Total Quality Management, a culture which stimulates individual responsibility and initiative.

Our one hundred Canadian associates who work in manufacturing, distribution, sales and customer service are committed to providing VALUE to our Customers.

Our Finishing Plant and Dyehouse, located in Montreal, is one of the most modern in the world. Using modern computer controlled equipment, it produces world class quality thread products while being both energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Our Central Distribution is also located in Montreal. It services four additional distribution centers located in Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver. It provides the entire range of A&E thread as well as trim, notions, embroidery threads and cutting room supplies. A&E Canada provides same day service in these metropolitan regions and next day service throughout Canada. We invite you to visit these facilities.

American & Efird Canada also provides our Customers with Technical Service, thread surveys and seminars.
