About TexTeam Windel
TexTeam Windel GmbH finishes and equips woven textile fabrics with widths from 0.6 m to 2.2 m (stretch articles up to 3.2 m) and area weights from 65 to 300 g/m². The service range covers pretreatment (desizing, washing, singeing, bleaching), dyeing of fabrics made from natural and synthetic fibers as well as blends, and functionalization through finishing, flame protection, stain protection, raising, brushing, sanding, calendering, smoothing, densification and dimensional stability. A historically grown, broad machine park allows unusual combinations of processes. The in-house laboratory tests color and degree of whiteness, area weight, handle, shrinkage and tensile strength. Founded in 1832, the company at the Bielefeld Krackser Straße site operates with its own energy supply, cooling water recovery and its own wastewater treatment plant with MAB tanks, and is a certified specialist operation pursuant to § 62 AwSV. Its customers come from the textile industry and the field of technical textiles.
