Specialty Manufacturer of Lacing Cords, Braided Tapes & High-Performance Fiber Products
About Saylor Technical Products
Saylor Technical Products is a long-standing U.S. manufacturer of braided tapes, specialty cords, and technical fiber products used across aerospace, electric motor manufacturing, wire & cable assembly, and industrial equipment.
Originally known as Saylor Products, the company was acquired by Breyden Products in 2011 and rebranded as Saylor Technical Products. The acquisition expanded Breyden’s capabilities in high-temperature fibers, motor-grade tapes, and specialty braided constructions — but Saylor continues to operate as a distinct manufacturing division with its own product lines, processes, and material strengths.
Saylor is well known for its precision braiding, cordage expertise, and ability to produce materials that withstand demanding electrical, thermal, and mechanical environments.
