About Us
Our Team - Our Family
It is an age old adage...but still true today.
Any organization is only as good as the individuals that comprise it’s members.
Not only does Fiber Specialties LLC embrace this philosophy, we firmly believe it to be our greatest asset.

From Aircraft Interior Design to Fiber ProTector and Fiber Specialties
The aircraft interiors in the photos above were all designed by Fiber Specialties founder, Devin Frizzell. Most of these textiles seen in these pictures were treated with Fiber ProTector and we still clean a few of these annually! Devin started using Fiber ProTector and developing cleaning protocols for his clients VIP aircraft interiors back in 2006 and never looked back. He does very little design work now, as his passion has turned to educating and providing the aviation industry as a whole in proper textile cleaning and interior maintenance processes and products to keep aircraft interiors looking great for the intended life cycle.
The most excellent aviation photography is from his colleague http://kirtwitte.com
