VINCENT DIAZ: FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT

Atlantic Thread was founded in 1980 by company president Vincent Diaz, an industry leader whose career in the thread and yarn business spans more than thirty-five years. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Vince began his career after military service in Vietnam. Today he leads an organization that serves textile manufacturers across the country and around the world.

In addition to participating in the writing of both military and civilian performance standards, Vince has experience in three ASTM committees: D13 on Textiles, F23 on Protective Clothing and F18 on Electrical Workers Protective Clothing. For more than 20 years, Vince has been a member of the NFPA Wildland Fire Fighting Protective Clothing Technical Subcommittee.

Vince was active in helping mattress manufacturers prepare for the federal standard on mattress flammability (16 CFR 1633). Vince assisted with the development of several ASTM test methods that measure how FR components used to manufacture mattresses will perform when exposed to an open flame and high heat tests.

He has written numerous articles and technical documents intended to help bedding manufacturers to better understand the challenge of open flame and textiles. He helped to develop the Protection for Peaceful Sleep® tape edge closing system. (www.paxpro.net)
