RESEARCH AND INNOVATION.

Mectex was the first company to create elastic fabrics in both warp and weft, 5 years before elastomers were first used in 1962. In accordance with its origins, Mectex has always preserved a very high degree of technological innovation in its products throughout the years, and for this reason it has become a point of reference and test-bed for yarn and machinery manufacturers.

QUALITY

Strict quality control procedures cover every step of the company’s activities: from raw materials, to the production of greige fabrics, ending with finished and ennobled fabrics.
Each metre of fabric is provided with an identity card that allows to trace back the origin of the yarn, its realisation, and the further stages. The procedures are established by the more than 20-year ISO 9001 Certification, and the virtuous characteristics of our business by HIGG Index.

During the August 2016 edition of the MUNICH FABRIC START trade fair, M.I.S. was awarded the first prize for the best innovative technical fabric. The prestigious award, the KEYHOUSE HIGHTEX AWARD, was achieved thanks to a special photoluminescent trilaminate fabric.

Keyhouse Hightex Award

At the end of 2009 FINA changed the rules, this way Mectex came into play in the history of Jaked, which had to create a new fabric swimming costume, and for this they approached those who were already known in the industry as suppliers of well-known brands.
