About K.TEX
K.TEX – Knein Technische Textilien GmbH is a manufacturer of technical textiles specializing in heat applications, headquartered in Herzogenrath near Aachen. As an engineering workshop, the company offers development and production of novel textile solutions from a single source. Its products are used in fire protection, heat protection and insulation, such as fire protection curtains, cable wrapping tapes, the textile flame-penetration barrier FLOTREX, as well as heat protection solutions for cables, exhaust systems and lithium-ion batteries. A central element is the development of proprietary formulations for coating compounds and laminating adhesives based on available raw chemistry. The production technology enables a broad spectrum of processes; where limits are reached, processes are modified or extended, up to the construction of completely new, autonomous machines and systems. For qualification purposes, the company develops its own test fixtures to ensure application-related quality assurance. As of January 1, 2026, K.TEX was acquired by Saverto Holding GmbH and the management was handed over from company founder Dr. Robert Knein-Linz to Dr. Katarzyna Linn.
