A.B. Carter, Inc. began manufacturing and marketing its first product, the Boyce Weavers Knotter, shortly after the Company was founded by Arthur Bynum Carter in 1922.  Mr. Carter's interest and expertise in the application of rings and travelers for producing quality spun yarns led the way for establishing the metal traveler business in 1937.

The Company has continued to grow over the years through acquisitions of companies and product-lines but most importantly through servicing our customers' needs.

A.B. Carter, Inc. is now marketing a diverse line of products through several divisions with specialized industry knowledge. Each division maintains the necessary technical expertise in order to assist customers with application, operation and servicing issues. A.B. Carter, Inc.'s primary textile products include travelers and rings, tapes and belts, bobbins, air splicers, knotters, stroboscopes, end detectors, textile laboratory equipment and textile lubricants.  A.B. Carter, Inc. also manufactures low carbon wire and a wide range of parts and assemblies used in many non-textile industries including automotive, lighting, appliance, filtration, broom/brush and hand tool.

A.B. Carter, Inc. products are sold worldwide through a network of sales agents with representatives in 44 countries. In addition, A.B. Carter, Inc. operates three sales and service subsidiaries located in Brazil, Hong Kong and Mexico.
