We are always indentifying new solutions and adapting our products.
Today we have textiles of industries ranging from healthcare to construction.
It's not a matter of what we are able to produce, but what you want us to produce.
BUSINESS AREAS – A RAPIDLY GROWING RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
We have specialized on chainsaw protection.
Sharp focus on comfort and durability in addition to the actual safety aspects.
We have created Avertic – a high performance chainsaw protection fabric in several different variants.
PPE
PRODUCT RANGEMEETS E.G. EN 381, ASTM F1897, AS/NZS 4453.3 SAFETY STANDARDS
Deals exclusively with critical situations where material and quality may never fail.
Research, technologically advanced production and rigorous testing make sure we always deliver.
MILITARY
Technical textiles developed to withstand break-in attempts and malicious damage.
Used for protection for roller shutters.
We use a variant of avertic, specially adapted to meet the specific requirements of break-in protection.
SECURITY
We provide solutions for reinforcing several different types of plastic and rubber.
Common areas of applications are storage, halls, tents, roofing membranes, flexible doors and ventilation ducts.
Our reinforcements provide the highest durability while keeping weight to a minimum.
REINFORCEMENT
We provide solutions for interior, fittings, seats etc.
Textiles that are durable and able to meet automotive industry standards and requirements

MEDICAL
Textiles specially developed to provide optimum visibility

VISUAL COMMUNICATION
Adapted for reinforcing asphalt
The basic principal in our solution is the absorption and dispersion of energy within the textile instead of in e.G. An asphalt pavement.
We adapt textile construction through the choice of absorption requirements, yarn fibre and design.
GEO
OUR OWN MATERIAL BRAND WITH ALTERNATIVES FOR THE PPE AND THE SECURITY BUSINESS AREA.
A HIGH PERFORMANCE POWER SAW PROTECTION.
YEARS OF RESEARCH, TOUGH TESTING AND CONSTANT EFFORTS TO MAKE NEW TECHNICAL ADVANCES ARE KEY TO THE MATERIAL.
