A disruptive textile innovation research center for future trends and needs, adapted to the environment. A place to design, prototype, experiment, new products/materials for global textile chain. The unique technological platform on site host: one of five platforms of three melt-spinning component existing in the world, a nonwoven pilot line (spunlaid & drylaid) with a flexibility of the configuration (over 100 existing possible combinations), a yarn spinning, weaving and coating pilot line. The CETI produce solutions and demonstrators that provide proof of new intelligent textiles. CETI’s Technologies bring new opportunity for companies and laboratories to: test spinnability of new polymers, create functionalized filaments, create fine filaments and fibres, combine polymers in a filament or in fabrics and develop nonwovens by combining different technologies.

CETI's core Business is to show proof of innovation by doing demonstrations on the technological platform: Private R&D projects and Collaborative R&D projects.
