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.
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.

Development
The ideas of our customers awaken creative forces in us. We openly involve customers, suppliers and employees in technological developments in order to reach our goal quickly and efficiently. We are constantly working on new fashion and technological developments. Articles for the medical sector are tested for their behaviour and elasticity on knitting machines before the yarn qualities are presented to our customers. Our creative centre gives you the opportunity to see our innovations and research work for yourself. Only the best developments are followed up and used as solutions for our customers.
