Description: AIN Albany International January 15, 2026
Albany International Corp. (NYSE: AIN) operates two primary segments: Machine Clothing (MC) and Albany Engineered Composites (AEC). The MC segment supplies specialty fabrics and belts for paper-making, nonwovens, building products, and related industrial processes, while AEC produces 3-D-woven and injected composite parts for military and commercial aircraft engines and airframes.
Key drivers for the MC business include global paper consumption trends (which have been flat to slightly declining in mature markets but growing in emerging economies) and the ongoing shift toward higher-efficiency, low-energy paper machines that demand advanced clothing. The AEC segment is tied to aircraft engine replacement cycles and defense procurement budgets, both of which are sensitive to macro-economic conditions and geopolitical tensions. As of FY 2024, Albany reported approximately $1.4 billion in revenue, with the MC segment contributing roughly 65 % and an operating margin of 7 %-both metrics reflecting modest pressure from raw-material cost volatility.
Geographically, Albany’s footprint spans North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, providing diversified exposure but also introducing foreign-exchange risk; the Swiss franc and Chinese yuan account for the bulk of non-USD earnings. Recent sector data suggest that the aerospace composites market is expanding at a 6-8 % CAGR through 2030, offering a tailwind for AEC, while the paper-machinery market faces a long-term contraction of about 1-2 % annually in developed regions.
