Cost-effective yarn solutions with technological precision
Over 50 years of textile expertise for precise, reliable and regulatory-compliant yarns.
Fein-Elast
We deliver textile expertise that pays off
As an internationally operating B2B specialist, we develop and produce high-quality elastic and inelastic combination yarns.
Our yarns are developed for further processing in demanding textiles. Wherever defined compression, long-term elasticity and consistent quality are decisive.
At the same time, the expertise we have built up in medical technology forms the basis for yarn solutions in technical textiles, fashion and many other industries. Wherever stable processes and consistent quality are required.
Our 250 employees at the sites in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Estonia produce a broad variety of different yarns. The range extends from single and double covered yarns through air-covered yarns, Hamel Elasto Twist, Corespun and Sirospun yarns, twisted yarns and knit-de-knit yarns to metallic yarns, and is sold in almost 50 countries around the world.
Focus on medicine
Quality that can be reproduced
In medical textiles, quality is not a promise but a prerequisite. Variations in elasticity, stretch or covering have a direct effect on the function of the end product. That is why our elastic yarns are designed for process stability, reproducibility and industrial series production.
We see ourselves not merely as a yarn supplier, but as a technical partner for manufacturers of medical products.
We support manufacturers of medical devices with:
- Single-grade materials for reproducible mechanical properties and consistent load behaviour
- Stable compression performance over the entire service life of the product
- High process reliability in circular and flat knitting processes
- Specific yarn designs for standard-compliant products (e.g. defined compression classes)
- High batch consistency and validatable processes

Applications
The right yarn for every industry
From medical compression textiles to technical fabrics, our yarns cover the entire spectrum of textile applications.
Products
Seven yarn technologies from a single source
The various fields of application of our yarns call for a wide range of products and highly specialised, individual solutions. That is why we are engaged in a constant process of development and optimisation.

From first conversation to series production
Analysis
We support our customers in every respect. For new developments we examine the feasibility of your requirements together with our research and development department. Once a solution has been found, we ensure efficient implementation that takes your specific requirements into account.
Development
We involve customers, suppliers and employees openly in technological developments. On knitting machines we test articles for the medical sector for their behaviour and elasticity before the yarn qualities are presented. Our textile physics laboratories continuously monitor product quality and support the development of new products.
Support
We provide personal support for questions about the specifications and fields of application of our yarns and twisted yarns. Contact us with confidence so that we can find the right solution together.
