About us

Facts & Figures of the SAERTEX® Group

The SAERTEX success story began in 1982 with a bold idea: technical reinforcement materials as stitched fabrics, known as non-crimp fabrics (NCFs), instead of conventional textiles and using existing expertise to create completely new products.

Even though the company has expanded worldwide, moved into new facilities, and SAERTEX has become a global player, much of the pioneering spirit of the past remains today: in particular, the desire to constantly explore new paths and the courage to follow them.

This idea developed into what is now a leading global company for fiber composite solutions.
