Olmetex fabrics
-
Check Nylon
Our iconic Buffalo Check design is brought to life with a textured graphic effect. Made from nylon, this plain compact weave features a delicate crinkle effect achieved through a special air finish treatment. Its water-repellent C0 property adds durability and protection.
-
Abstract Nylon
A nylon with a tie-dye print that gives a unique touch to the garment. A transparent lamination covers the print, creating a rich, translucent finish while offering water resistance. The surface's gentle wavy effect is due to a special air finish treatment.
-
Ripstop Nylon
This 100% nylon fabric features a ripstop structure, enhancing its strength and durability. Black yarns are woven into the weft before dyeing, creating a more dimensional look in solid colors, while its water-repellent C0 coating adds protection.
Innovation and research
Olmetex has a rich history of innovation and research. The production chain is monitored from the yarn to the finished product to reduce waste and optimize processes. Since 2010, the company has adopted an increasingly green and sustainable approach, obtaining certifications such as GOTS, GRS, OCS, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Thanks to a photovoltaic system of about 300 panels and a new cogeneration plant, Olmetex can self-produce energy and cover 70 percent of its energy expenditure.
