Description

LIFEtex. Yarns for high-quality fashion applications.


We combine creativity and precision to design and produce high-quality yarns that are the ideal basis for home textiles and apparel fabrics.

Fashion trends that emerge globally are implemented at the regional level in the various markets. We have the know-how, the facilities and the creative diversity to deliver select, top-class yarns for the fashion industry.

Whether fashionable outerwear, underwear, stockings, sportswear or work apparel: We manufacture innovative and inspiring premium-quality yarns needed to put fashion ideas into practice.

We also offer bespoke filament yarns for upholstery fabrics. Made of viscose, polyamide or polyester and available in brilliant colors, these yarns have to meet highest demands in terms of quality and appearance and are made to customer specifications. Curtains, furnishing fabrics and sun protective fabrics fulfill a technical function on the one hand, while being key design elements on the other hand. This calls for innovative fabric designs. We are glad to develop and manufacture suitable yarns for our customers on short notice.

Besides polyamide and polyester standard yarns, we cover the entire range of special-purpose yarns and brand fibers such as Thermolite, Coolmax, Tencel, Trevira CS and many more.

We offer solutions tailored to the needs of our customers.
