In 1981, Reuben Weinstein, launched American Engineered Fabrics, Inc.(AEF). In 1989 Reuben created Boom Environmental Products as the distribution arm of AEF. Boom Environmental adapted the geotextile materials manufactured by AEF into fiber-locked absorbents that were more durable and reusable than competing products. AEF, headed by Reuben's son, Daniel, now continues its innovation in recycled non-woven textiles with The Green Geotextiles® portfolio of products made from 100% post consumer polyester.
