Today, we are the world’s largest producer of Stitchbond fabrics. Our proprietary technology – bringing together combinations of materials — has already proven to have infinite possibilities. The Origin East German Textile Engineer Dr. Heinrich Mauersberger invented the original Stitchbond process in 1949, and produced the first “Maliwatt” stitchbond nonwoven machine in 1957. The Successor Arno Wildeman began producing a Stitchbond nonwoven in 1968 in the United Kingdom and the first to commercialize its use in the West. In the early 1970s, he pursued the dramatic redesign of the original Mauersberger concept to incorporate new capabilities into the Stitchbond process. This new technology platform became the foundation of unique process capabilities that continue to evolve to this day at Tietex. The Process Stitchbond Nonwoven technology is a process that pierces through flexible substrates in the form of nonwovens, films, papers and foams (or combinations thereof) with a series of pointed needles positioned adjacent to each other. These needles then stitch either a simple or complex network of textile yarns into the substrate(s) to form textile/nonwoven hybrids for a broad array of applications. The stitching either strengthens or reinforces substrates, or brings an extensive number of alternative properties to the resulting composites. We are a global manufacturer of a broad and diverse range of stitchbonded, non-woven fabrics—notably the world's largest producer. In our quest to innovate, we develop products for a variety of markets and applications, including Automotive, Roofing, Athletic Footwear, Fire Resistant Materials, Hook & Loop, Mattress, Medical Filtration, Wipes and many, many others.
