Hot-air balloon fabrics ans sailcloth

In high performance sports and also in everyday sports activities, you have to be able to rely on your equipment 100%.

‎That is why professional as well as amateur sailors and balloonists opt for our fabrics, which perform perfectly when it comes to making optimum use of the wind, testing their limits and utilising all possibilities. They are super lightweight and thin yet also extremely strong.

Many of the hot-air balloon envelopes used in numerous competitions are equipped with our high-tech fabrics. Our fabrics have also proved their worth in sailing – not least at one of the world's hardest regattas, the America's Cup.

Safely protected in any situation

A broad spectrum of situations calls for personal protective equipment. It ranges from protective clothing for rescue and emergency services to protective workwear and special leisure activity and sports clothing. Technical fabrics must therefore meet an equally wide range of challenging requirements. Getzner has many years of experience in this area and its fabrics comply with numerous standards. The in-house brands SR-Flameprotect® and GUARDIANTEX® have made the company a valued partner for fire brigades, rescue services, police forces and the military for many years.

Our fabrics are used to manufacture the cleanroom garments that are worn in the watchmaking or in the automotive industry, for example, and also in the medical field. They help to maintain a 100% sterile environment and to prevent contamination. They are also an effective barrier against blood and other fluids.

In sports, on the other hand, they are used for motorcyclists' clothing to prevent abrasions in the event of contact with the ground as a result of an accident. However, regardless of the domain they are used in and the requirements they must meet: Getzner offers a wide range of different fabrics for further processing. If specific requirements go beyond the existing portfolio, we are happy to develop customised solutions.

Well-protected for maximum concentration on the job

You can only calmly get on with your job if you know that you are properly protected.

The protective function of workwear depends inherently on the use of technical fabrics. Our products are used by leading forestry workwear manufacturers for chainsaw protection trousers or jackets, for example. They are also used to manufacture workwear for high voltage technicians that protects them against exposure to high voltage. Equally, high visibility vests or reflective stripes to make the wearer easier to see are also made from our fabrics.

We offer a wide spectrum of ready-made solutions to meet the various requirements. However, we are also a sought-after partner for many customers when it comes to the development customised fabrics for specific purposes. Incidentally, our production site is certified to EN 20471 standard.
