Specialists for Jacquard weaving and narrow fabrics
The TITV is a reliable R&D partner for using different weaving technologies and a wide range of technical yarns to create and optimise woven structures particularly for e-textiles. The development activities include weaving trials with new yarn materials, creation of complex Jacquard structures, improvement of weaving processes and machine equipment up to small-series production.
The machine equipment of our technical centre contains various weaving machines from well-known manufactures like Dornier, Picanol and Jakob Müller. They are suitable for the development of technical narrow fabrics, unique Jacquard fabrics and functional dobby woven fabrics up to a width of 160 cm.
Our focus areas are woven structures for e-textile applications but also functional fabrics as technical solution for different requests from the industry e.g. for protective clothing, automotive interior, medical applications and household textiles.
