Exploring What's New from MMI: Highlights from the 2025 SHOT Show

We showcased our products and services at the 2025 SHOT Week Supplier Showcase in the Palazzo Ballroom, 5th Floor of the Venetian in Las Vegas on January 20-21, 2025.

With more than 600 exhibiting suppliers that specialize in the shooting sports, hunting, outdoor, law enforcement, and armed forces industries, this show provides a unique opportunity for manufacturers looking to source materials for their products. This is their shot to connect with top suppliers of high-caliber products, materials, and services.

We have A LOT of innovative new products and developments coming out this year and we are eager to share them with you all. Keep your eye on our blog and social media accounts (Instagram, LinkedIn) to stay up to date on all things MMI!

Check out some of the innovative materials we featured at booth 51430 during this year's SHOT Week Supplier Showcase:

SAM1® EMPEL™

Through our partnership with The Haartz Corporation, we offer PFAS-free and waterless EMPEL™ textile finishing on our Stretch Woven fabrics. EMPEL™ is a patented environmentally friendly sustainable high-performance fabric finishing technology. Utilizing a water-free application process and non-toxic chemistry, EMPEL delivers enhanced water repellency, finish durability, total breathability and soft hand feel, compared to traditional finishes.

SAM Lite

SAM Lite further expands MMI’s SAM line of Stretchable, Agile, Mission Critical stretch woven fabrics. SAM Lite is a 94% nylon/6% spandex blend and offers stretch in the filling direction only, which allows for an extremely lightweight, sub-2 oz. ripstop fabric. Used in everything from tactical Overwhites to jogging shorts, this fabric gives quick dry protection, breathability, and stretch.

EcoThriv® Cypress

EcoThriv® Cypress is a unique addition to our line of environmentally preferred performance fabrics, blending LYCRA T400 and recycled polyester in a double-knit construction. Cypress weighs around 8.3 oz. and has a cuttable width of 51". Fabrics made with LYCRA® T400® yarn offer lasting comfort and fit, maintaining the garment’s shape without the addition of spandex while providing excellent moisture management to keep you cool and dry.

Our team is excited to connect with you at the SHOT Show. We'll be walking the rest of the show. E-mail your sales rep to set something up!
