A big thank you to our long-standing customers


Successful products for technical textiles and specialty fabrics

Since the late 1990s, increasing competition from the Asian textile industry was having a strong impact in Europe. You might be one of these leading manufacturers responding then by shifting your business focus towards the ever-growing market for technical textiles. Many textile companies saw chances in special fabrics for those markets with most demanding requirements.

We saw an opportunity for our company in this challenging field of specialty fabrics. Successful production of woven technical textiles requires know-how and ingenious ideas as well creative warp let-off systems,” says Walter Wirz, one of the founders and former Crealet CEO.

At this time, the global business climate was tough, and many countries were facing a recession. “We worked hard and proved our creativity and technical excellence to respond to market demands. We were focused on practical and forward-looking solutions that bring real and tangible benefits to our customers,” says Walter Wirz.

Crealet is proud of who we successfully passed the crisis – and most proud that many customers of that time are still our customers.

Thank you very much for your loyalty!
