Cormatex Cormatex manufactures machinery for woollen spinning and nonwovens. Cormatex is a textile machinery manufacturer operating world wide since 1938.

With 85+ years of experience, we deliver tailor-made solutions, support product innovation, and transform waste into resources through our R&D Center and special Airlay technology. Over the years we specialized our production in the following sectors:
- Carding and spinning technologies for woollen yarn, especially fine knitting yarn including cashmere, angora, camel hair and their blends with fine wool (brand-new and fully reconditioned machinery).
- Nonwovens production lines including fibre opening and blending systems, fine openers, card feeding systems, high production cards & cross lappers, airlay systems, cutting and wind-up systems. Research is much more than a way to develop new technologies, it is the path to walk together to our customers. Testing is much more than a way to improve your knowledge, it is our tool to develop customized solutions. A project to be developed in cooperation with our customers is much more than a challenge for success, it is our passion.

Turning an idea into an industrial project also requires evaluating its economic sustainability.

For this reason, alongside technical consulting and product development, Cormatex supports customers through a detailed analysis of production costs and the definition of a business plan based on the proposed line configuration.

The analysis makes it possible to estimate the time required to recover the investment, the annual quantities of raw materials needed and the production volumes to be placed on the market.

In this way, technical and economic aspects are assessed together from the earliest stages, providing customers with the information they need to understand the feasibility of the project and define the optimal path towards industrial production.

FIBSUN project is in full swing.

At the end of July we successfully tested the spraying of MFC (microfibrillated cellulose) on clean long h**p fiber. This trial was part of PVT2, the one dedicated to the development of high performance composites from MFC-improved h**p fibers for automotive applications.

As we move closer to the final stage of the project, we look forward to sharing further results!

Stay tuned!

The development of new materials for industrial applications comes from the combination of fibre knowledge, research and expertise in production processes.

This is the focus of the scientific publication “Microfibrillated cellulose-reinforced h**p non-wovens: Engineering functional pre-forms for sustainable composites”, published in Industrial Crops & Products, which includes Luca Querci, Managing Director of Cormatex, among its authors.

The study investigates the development of nonwoven materials made from long h**p fibres reinforced with microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), with the aim of improving their properties and evaluating their potential as functional pre-forms for sustainable composite materials, including advanced applications such as the automotive sector.

Research and innovation in the nonwoven field require an integrated approach, capable of connecting material properties, fibre behaviour and process development.

An approach that has always characterised Cormatex’s work: understanding the potential of fibres and contributing to the development of nonwoven solutions designed for new industrial applications.

The Indian textile industry is entering a new phase in its journey towards sustainability. The challenge is no longer limited to managing production waste, but also involves addressing the growing volume of textile waste generated throughout production, consumption and end-of-life stages.

Unlike conventional industrial raw materials, textile waste is highly variable: it can include fibres and materials with very different physical and processing characteristics.

This variability makes recycling both a technical and logistical challenge. The goal should not simply be to prevent these materials from ending up in landfill, but to identify the next technically feasible and highest-value application for each waste stream.

It is in this context that Cormatex Airlay technology plays a role, enabling different types of textile waste to be processed and developed into new nonwoven materials for industrial applications.

This is also a topic explored by our agents in India in the article The Next Life of Textiles, published by Textile Insights.

To achieve a nonwoven with an even fiber distribution, the material must be properly prepared before the forming stage.

Before reaching the Airlay forming system, the material goes through specific preparation stages: the Bale Opener performs an initial opening and doses the material towards the subsequent processing steps, while the Fine Opener completes the opening and pre-carding of the fibres, ensuring a homogeneous and continuous feed.

The prepared material then reaches the Lap Formair H, where the fibres are distributed and deposited to form the nonwoven batt. Inside the forming chamber, the combined action of distributing rollers and a suction system enables the material to be evenly distributed across the working width.

The product weight is also monitored through continuous weighing systems before the subsequent consolidation stages.

It is just the control of different stages of the process that contributes to achieve a final result consistent with the required characteristics of the product.

Fine and extra-fine yarns for knitwear require more than high-quality raw materials: they depend on a woollen spinning process capable of preserving the characteristics of the fibres and ensuring perfect evenness and consistency throughout production.

This is an area in which Cormatex has built its expertise over almost ninety years. Founded in 1938 in the Prato textile district, the company has developed increasingly specialised expertise in carding and spinning over time, leading to the design of complete woollen spinning lines.

Today, this experience translates into the development of flexible processes for natural and man-made fibres, both virgin and regenerated, with a particular specialisation in fine and noble fibres such as cashmere, camel hair, angora, llama and vicuña.

The objective remains the same: to configure each stage of the process according to the characteristics of the fibre and the yarn to be produced, combining material knowledge with technological development to achieve the required quality and performance.

Thanks to the experience gained alongside the textile industry and the research activities carried out in our laboratory, the Cormatex technical team has developed in-depth expertise not only in mechanical engineering, but also in the study of fibres and different textile processes.

This allows us to support customers in the development of new projects with different objectives:

• enhance waste materials of different origins, both textile and non-textile;
• develop new high-performance products at competitive costs;
• identify new applications or improve specific technical characteristics of products already available on the market.

Over the years, we have tested fibres and materials with very different characteristics. This experience enables our engineers to combine expertise from different sectors and leverage the potential of our Airlay systems to develop innovative technical textiles with specific properties.

Material consulting thus becomes the starting point for defining, together with the customer, the process and solution best suited to the desired result.

In the nonwoven sector, the value of a solution does not depend solely on the material used, but on the ability to define how that material behaves within the process and in relation to its final application.

Cormatex’s know-how is based on the understanding of fibres, the ability to design tailored processes, and the development of solutions built around specific application requirements. This is complemented by testing and experimentation activities carried out together with the customer, allowing the behaviour of materials to be evaluated under real processing conditions.

This results in a system where material, process, and final solution are interpreted as a single entity, developed and optimised in a coordinated way.

A way of working that turns expertise into innovative solutions.

Nonwoven fabrics are obtained through industrial processes that transform natural, synthetic or recycled fibres, depending on the final application.

The result is a material used across multiple industrial sectors: automotive, construction, filtration, packaging, hygiene, agriculture, furniture and many others.

In this context, we have developed several technologies that enable the use of nonwoven fabrics across different application sectors, delivering high-performance solutions aligned with market requirements.

Thanks to its know-how and expertise in both processes and products, Cormatex positions itself as a development partner rather than a simple supplier, supporting the identification of tailored application solutions.
