Since the 1960s, Filt1860 develop it’s know how in the field of aquaculture,in France, more specifically in the field of mussel farming. We provide mussel growers with nets that meet their needs and also meet environmental criteria.

• Catinage net, in high tenacity polyester, UV treated.
• Boudinage nets, Mytidouble: mixed synthetic and cotton, several possible densities.
• Net for seed rope, in polyester, polypropylene or cotton.
• Polyester/rubber or cotton/rubber elastic net.
• Net for mussel farming on stake sea.
• Net for mussel farming on ropes.

The nets are packaged in reels sold by the meter. On request, we prepare ready-to-use nets: cut to measure, tied, and/or elasticated.

Our know-how allows us to work on a specific material or on two different materials.

The cotton maintains the mussel seed during the laying of the net by releasing the space necessary for the mussels. The polypropylene guarantees the hold of the mussels during winding on the stake and handling.

We manufacture boudinage nets, for the cultivation of mussels on stakes and on ropes, with meshes of 14 to 40mm per side.

Catinage nets keep the mussels on the stake as they grow. They protect the mussels from the swell, the flow but also from marine predators.

We can work these nets in synthetic material such as polypropylene or polyester.

We manufacture catinage nets, with meshes from 20 to 60mm per side.

Our brading area regroup more than 200 head of braiding machine. Our braiding machine 3 carriers, 8 carriers, 12 carriers, 16 carriers are cutting-edge technology. We also have 2 automatic assembling machine, 5 winding machine which allows high quality and precisions in the winding.

Our modern machines allow us today to dedicated half of our production at the achievement of tailor made products.

We use natural raw materials such as the cotton, linen, but also synthetic material like polypropylene, polyamide, polyester, and high performance yarns such as kermel©, tin, copper, UHMWPE, aramids.

Our know-how of braiding allow us to realize like for example candles wicks, sandow, Bungee cord, elastic rope, wire pulling rope and rope for the cultivation of algae.

Filt1860, specialist of candles wicks

At Filt1860, we search constantly to develop our know how and promote French industry in the whole world. That’s why in 2006, Filt1860 decided to revive the Norman manufacture’s production of candles wicks. Our vision ? To perpetuate traditional Norman know-how.

Used materials and type of candles wicks:

We braid cotton wicks with a paper core or linen core. We use treatment which make cotton more hydrophilic, in order to optimize the burning of the candle. Our treatments are realize in Europe with Oeko tex standard 100 certificate which ensures that there is no use of heavy metals or azo dyes.

We developed wicks range ECOCERT certified organic cotton. We propose standard range with different models for our candles wicks braided flat,square, torch wicks and garden wicks, votive candles . But also a possibility of quality tailor-made production to support our customers in their new development. We also adapt our wick diameters which can range from 1mm to 60mm (depending on the model). Custom packaging is also possible.

We manufacture nets for water treatment only on specifications. We already have a few references in this field, with major players in France and Europe, for the preservation of lifts pumps, the packaging nets of filtration media, or even to make coil containing fibers absorbing hydrocarbons . Minimum size of the diamond mesh: 5mm per side.

Thanks to our knowledge and technological capabilities, we can, in the same net, knit different materials to get the most of their resistance characteristics, for example. We can also knit different sizes or types of mesh (diamonds or hexagonal) continuously, in the same net for a funnel or a larger mesh to insert a support strap for example.

From nets for storm drain outlets to nets for sewer manholes, Filt1860 impose out in the field of filtration.

On our knitting machines, there are kilometers and kilometers of tubular net manufactured since 1960.

Our tubular nets allow you to wrap your various food productions (onions, shallots, etc.) We adapt the mesh, the width and even the color of the net to meet your packaging requirements.

Half of the production is devoted to the manufacture of made-to-measure products.

Our packaging nets are suitable for manufacturers of injected parts or any other packaging that would fit into your manufacturing process.

From the packaging net for onions to the packaging net for metal parts, Filt1860 adapts to your specifications.

However, this technical know-how would be nothing without the human know-how which guarantees the correct balance between the production capacities expected in today’s world and the desired requirements in terms of quality, precisions and finish. Our personnel is made up of technicians and engineers with solid expertise in textile manufacturing. We have wide reaching knowledge of the European textile network which enables us to constantly monitor technological progress. It can be said that Filt1860 is a leading player in the manufacture of technical textiles in France.

This capacity to adapt our technical know-how explains why are able to work in such diverse sectors of activity : automobile and rail, mussels farming, husting, leisure activities, aeronautics, the food industry, caravanning, sailing, transport, childcare, fish farming, water treatment, packaging, recycling…

Manufacturing exclusively in France, in 2017 we were awarded « Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant » label by the French government, in recognition of our know-how in excellence.

In the 20s, Filt1860 already made luaggage net for trains.

Today, Filt1860 has developed a wide range of nets dedicated to the field of transport (boat, train, car, truck, leisure vehicle).

We primarily use polyester in the fulfilment of these nets, but also anti-cut metal yarn, to provide cut resistance for public transport seats or for individual protection.

To secure the deck of the boat, we produce guardrail safety net (Guard Rail Netting) to suit your need, in diamonds mesh or hexagonal mesh.

To protect package in delivery truck, we manufacture dropped objects prevention guard net. This type of product is also adapted for storage area or for example in luggage compartment.

To organise your things and to optimize the space in truck cabin we made custom storage net. . The storage net is becoming more and more popular in small spaces, it is the ideal product for vans but also motorhomes. Square, rectangle or triangle shape, with bungee cord or metal frame, black, red, blue colors are all parameters that we can adjust to meet your specifications.

Handling machinery, storage for military vehicle, or leisure vehicles, shipyards, marine equipment supplier… The major players, European equipment manufacturers for mass serie in a production line and accessories call on our know-how. They trust our competence and responsiveness in this area.

Send us your production specifications, and we manufacture the net that will answer to your needs!
