From yarn to the final shape of your textile interiors

in-vehicle applications

Yarn production

Our extrusion allows for the production of spun dyed yarns, and the texturing process provides for a variety of products with different DTex properties.
We have an in-house collection of melange yarns and standard yarns for everyday use, which makes our development and production service more flexible and efficient.

Warp Knit

Warp knitted fabrics are one of the most efficient technologies for high volume production. This technology offers flexible and adaptable textiles that are ideal for large vehicle interior surfaces and complex shapes.We test and develop sustainable material solutions such as the recycled polyamide ECONYL®.

Woven

We develop dobby and jacquard patterns on different scales and yarn types.
We test and develop sustainable material solutions such as ECONYL®, bio-based polyester, LENZING™ Modal, REFIBRA™, SEAQUAL® YARN, and recycled PES from textile waste.

Circular Knit

The properties of circular knitting allow for the creation of cozy, comfortable and flexible textiles, from heavy knits to sophisticated patterns. Its "fill" ability allows for 3D structures that can replace the heavy use of foams.
We test and develop sustainable material solutions such as ECONYL® and bio-based polyester.

3D Knit

We have created a new production area dedicated to flat knitting technology, a more sustainable way to take textiles from yarn directly to shape.
With the characteristics of a knit solution, it is more adaptable and comfortable, but the process avoids conventional cut & sew steps and reduces logistics and material waste.

Embroidery, welding and embossing

Enhance the visual and tactile experience of textiles with personalized design that helps you convey the look and feel beyond the textile structure.

Cut & Sew

Our Trim Units are located near the automotive production hubs in Brazil, Romania, Czech Republic and improved cabality with Dual Group units in Korea, China and Turkey.

In Portugal we also have a dedicated production line for baby car seats and complete truck curtains.
