Generations of thread built for demanding seams
A thread maker since the age of the sewing machine
Amann was founded in 1854 in Bönnigheim, Germany, in the same era the industrial sewing machine reached the factory floor. For well over a century the company has focused on one thing: making threads that perform under demanding conditions. Amann states that it now has manufacturing sites across Europe and Asia and supplies customers worldwide.
From apparel to the edge of textiles
The Amann range stretches from everyday core-spun sewing threads for garments and denim through to high-tenacity bonded threads for leather and footwear, specialist outdoor threads built to resist UV and weather, and Smart Yarns, meaning conductive, reflective and sensor threads for medical devices, e-textiles and composite materials. Al Borj brings that breadth to the UAE and GCC with local stock and direct technical support.

Amann threads: common questions
Does Al Borj supply Amann threads in the UAE?
Yes. Al Borj Machinery is an Amann thread supplier serving garment manufacturers, embroidery houses and technical-textile producers across the UAE and the wider GCC. We hold key lines in local stock and can source the broader Amann range on request.
Which Amann thread is right for machine embroidery?
Isacord is Amann's machine embroidery thread. Amann describes it as a 100% polyester thread with high colourfastness and abrasion resistance for high-speed embroidery machines. Recycled and outdoor variants are available on request. Contact Al Borj for colour-card samples and the current variant names.
What is the best Amann thread for leather goods and footwear?
Serafil (continuous-filament polyester) is a standard choice for leather, bags and footwear where a high-lustre finish and clean stitch formation matter. For high-strength seams such as safety harnesses, heavy bags or multidirectional stitching, Strongbond (bonded polyamide) is the heavier option. Al Borj can advise on the right ticket count for your machine setup.
Which Amann thread should I use for outdoor and marine seams?
GORE TENARA (ePTFE) is the heaviest-duty option. The manufacturer states it resists UV, weather and chemical exposure, and it is used in architectural awnings and marine applications. Serabond (bonded polyester) is the practical UV-resistant option for outdoor furniture, blinds and sunshade products. Al Borj stocks both and can provide samples for your specific application.
