Intedat editorial summary

The Intedat editorial summary complements publicly verifiable facts with additional business and industry context.

SINTEX, a.s. is one of the Czech textile companies that not only survived the transformation of the industry after 1990 but built their position on a shift from ordinary textiles to functional and technical materials. The company operates in Česká Třebová and Skuteč, and its production capacity is complemented by a subsidiary in Slovakia.

The core of the business is its own production of weft-knitted fabrics on large-diameter circular and flat knitting machines, followed by the manufacture of finished garments. The portfolio is complemented by warp-knitted fabrics, special woven fabrics and wound cartridge filters, that is, groups that came to the company with the merger with its sister company Spolsin.

From a business perspective, the combination of three roles under one roof is essential: material manufacturer, garment maker and in-house research and testing facilities. A customer can therefore handle material development, its testing in an accredited laboratory and the production of the finished garment with a single supplier.

A significant part of the range goes to areas where the purchase is decided by compliance with a standard rather than by price: protective workwear for the chemical and energy industries, flame-resistant materials for rescue and security forces, or antistatic textiles for microelectronics and pharmaceuticals.

Main products and business areas

A structured overview of the product categories and services publicly presented by SINTEX, a.s. on its website.

Weft-knitted fabrics

Weft-knitted fabrics

The key product group, manufactured on large-diameter circular and flat knitting machines. The range includes physiological and thermoregulating knits (Coolmax, Coolmax All Season, Thermolite, Trevira bioactiv, PROPYbac, Skinlife, Nilit Breeze), merino wool knits, antibacterial, antistatic (ESD), flame-resistant and fireproof, high-visibility, abrasion-resistant, multifunctional, organic and recycled, leisure and bed linen knits and flat collars and cuffs. The company states that it can produce this type of knitted fabric in weights from 90 g/m² in single jersey, terry, elastic, rib, double face and interlock structures.

Warp-knitted fabrics

Warp-knitted fabrics

The company offers warp-knitted fabrics in the categories of flag fabrics, sports jersey fabrics, lining fabrics, antistatic, high-visibility and reduced-flammability fabrics. It describes flag fabrics as smooth single jersey warp-knitted fabrics with high resistance to tearing by wind, suitable for sublimation, screen and digital printing and intended for flags, advertising signs, banners, transparencies and training bibs.

Woven fabrics

Woven fabrics

Special woven fabrics in the categories of abrasion-resistant, antistatic, chemically resistant OPO®, cleanroom and flame-resistant and fireproof fabrics. According to the company, the OPO® fabric is the result of its own research and development, is made of polypropylene and provides time-limited protection against accidental splashes of diluted acids and alkalis; it is not a coated material, so compared with similar materials it is lighter, stronger, about three times more breathable and twice as abrasion-resistant. Cleanroom fabrics are intended for electrical engineering, optics and pharmaceuticals and meet the requirements of ČSN EN 1149 (1-5).

Garments

Garments

In two of its own production plants the company manufactures garments according to customer requirements, primarily from its own range of weft-knitted fabrics. It offers special protective clothing and workwear, physiological and thermal insulating (functional) underwear, sports and leisure clothing and bed linen. It prepares the products from the initial sampling through to standard production and applies logos by transfer, embroidery or printing. The facilities comprise a cutting room with digital pattern preparation systems, a sewing shop with overlock and coverstitch machines and special machines, and a finishing shop with steam irons and heated ironing tables.

EKOFIL® filters

EKOFIL® filters

EKOFIL® wound cartridge filters produced by precision winding from polypropylene, optionally with activated carbon. They are used for filtering liquids and gases contaminated with mechanical impurities and, thanks to the chemical resistance of the fibres and cores, also for filtering aggressive liquids. They are offered in single-layer, double-layer and multi-layer designs, in standard lengths of 125, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mm and special lengths of 123 and 245 mm, with an inner diameter of 28 mm, an outer diameter of 61 mm as standard and 45–115 mm as a special version, and porosities of 0.5–100 and 150 μm. In the standard (S), special (O) and special clean and food-grade (O/L) versions they are intended for the chemical, electroplating, photographic, food, agricultural, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as well as for healthcare.

Additional company information

The accredited testing laboratory as a standalone service

Testing laboratory for textile materials no. 1224 is accredited according to ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 and may use the internationally recognised ILAC MRA mark. It tests textile raw materials made of synthetic and natural materials, linear textiles and spinning intermediates (yarns, filament threads, cords, strings, ropes) as well as flat textiles (woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, webbing, nonwovens). It is divided into a physical-mechanical, a chemical and an electrostatic section. The company lists among its advantages flexibility and short delivery times, the option of setting the scope of tests individually and results usable as a basis for product certification or for tenders and complaint proceedings; the laboratory is authorised to issue Statements of Conformity.

Research and development projects

The company coordinates and participates in national and international research and development projects. It took part in projects of the 6th and 7th EU Framework Programmes and of the H2020 programme, in the EUREKA and CORNET programmes and in the Czech programmes IMPULS, TIP, TRIO and APLIKACE (Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic) as well as ALFA, EPSILON and TREND (Technology Agency of the Czech Republic). According to the website, ongoing projects include, among others, Nanoprogress (nanofibre structures for filtering oils, beer and spirits), PEREP (elimination of microplastics from the waste water of automatic washing machines), HUBORA (textiles reflecting the infrared radiation of the human body), CellFunTex (replacing synthetic fibres with biodegradable cellulose fibres), MULTISHIELD (textile structures for absorbing high-frequency sound and shielding electromagnetic radiation) and VIFIL (a smart bed with optical fibres for monitoring vital functions).

Cluster membership and cooperation with research organisations

SINTEX is an active member of the CLUTEX cluster, the Nanoprogress cluster and the Czech Technology Platform for Textiles (ČTP) and describes itself as a recognised partner of Czech and foreign organisations engaged in textile research. It cooperates, among others, with the Technical University of Liberec and the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague.

Sampling and verification of material processability

For the development of new materials the company has its own sampling facilities. For woven fabrics these are a sampling warping machine, a sizing unit and sampling needle weaving machines with a shaft shedding mechanism, thanks to which it can prepare a sample from a single bobbin. Knitted fabrics are sampled on small-diameter, large-diameter and flat knitting machines. Sampling serves to verify new materials and to simulate production conditions.

Factory outlets

In addition to wholesale production, the company operates two factory outlets, in Česká Třebová and in Skuteč, with their own opening hours and a contact for ordering outside them.

Subsidiaries and approach to sustainability

The group includes two subsidiaries: SINTEX SK, s.r.o. in Turzovka as the Slovak production plant and SLUNEO, whose activity is the installation of photovoltaic power plants. The company subscribes to sustainability through the use of renewable energy sources and recycled materials and through process optimisation aimed at minimising waste.

Documents for business partners and compliance

On its website the company publishes documents for business partners: general terms and conditions and a complaints procedure for entrepreneurs and legal entities valid from 1 January 2022, a complaint form, a packaging management contract with EKO-KOM, a.s., financial statements, invitations to the general meeting, a product catalogue of the product groups and a separate channel for whistleblowing reports under Act No. 171/2023 Coll.
