Technical woven and
Knitted fabrics
Technical textiles are used in almost every area of our daily life-, for example in the automotive, sports and medical industries, in the agricultural and geotextile sectors, in protective equipment and other fields of application. Innovative woven and knitted fabrics make a major contribution here, with properties individually adapted to the task in hand. Our team of scientists and technicians develops new and innovative solutions for the demands placed on technical woven and knitted fabrics, both in publicly funded projects and on behalf of our partners. Starting with the selection of suitable materials as well as textile technologies, over the development of the textile construction up to the production of prototypes, we are at your disposal.
We are looking forward to your exciting tasks, technical discussions as well as a goal-oriented technical cooperation with you.

auXteX – Auxetik im Textil
07/2019-12/2021
The aim of the auXteX project is to develop new types of construction with auxetic textile structures that have improved mechanical property profiles. The efficiency of lightweight constructions is to be increased as a result.
Objectives:
- Development of new textile structures using the auxetic construction principle (characteristic of auxetic system behaviour: enlargement of cross-sections under tensile load),
- Development of new types of construction with auxetic textile structures that have improved mechanical property profiles
- Combination of auxetic textile structures and shape memory alloys
- Possible applications of auxetic textile-based meta materials in the fields of concrete construction, timber construction and protective clothing
