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 and Traceability
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. The procedures are established by the more than 20-year ISO 9001 Certification, and the virtuous characteristics of our business by HIGG Index.
A History of Performance Fabrics
The new Speedo swim suit, made entirely of Mectex fabric, broke 92% of world records, and won 94% of the gold medals and 89% of all medals awarded in swimming at the Beijing Olympics. The company is permanently transferred to Manifatture Italiane Scudieri, which have got the family name of the founder of the Adler Group.
