2001 – 2021
20 years have passed since Heytex moved from the middle of the industrial area of Osnabrück to the green countryside in Bramsche. And 20 years have also passed since Heytex shaded and embellished its entrance area with funnel screens made of HEYtent material xyz – the same material, by the way, that shaded the soccer stadium in Seville.
20 years and they are still standing – a sign of the good quality of HEYtent Materialien .

Heytex announces the acquisition of TenCate Outdoor Fabrics
Heytex and Royal Ten Cate are announcing the acquisition of TenCate Outdoor Fabrics by Heytex Bramsche located in Osnabruck, Germany. By combining the specialistic technological capabilities and market presence in technical textiles, Heytex will broaden its footprint in the market and TenCate Outdoor Fabrics will be enabled to accelerate its growth potential.
TenCate Outdoor Fabrics is a leading producer of specialistic outdoor fabrics used in applications in the European leisure tent and sun awnings market. The company employs 80 people in its production location in Nijverdal, the Netherlands.
The Heytex Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the development and production of high-quality and functionalized technical textiles for, among others, the cargo tarp and tent market (shelter tents), advertising and exhibitions (banners), environmental and flexible storage solutions as well as leisure markets. Heytex has production locations in Germany, the US and China.
Technical textiles represent a family of versatile materials to be used in various circumstances in order to fulfill specific functional demands in end markets. A broad range of technological capabilities and know-how in the field of material science and the ability to solve the individual functional demands of end users and direct customers is key for success. Being part of a larger group of companies by sharing capabilities will enable TenCate Outdoor Fabrics to create a stronger basis for its future development. Heytex forms the perfect combination to fulfill the needs of TenCate Outdoor Fabrics to further strengthen its business in order to provide a solid support for its direct business partners in the market.
Rob Verver, managing director of TenCate Outdoor Fabrics: “We were actively looking for a strategic business partner with synergetic capabilities in order to find support for our ambitious growth plans. We have a strong basis for our business, which is based on a solid TenCate brand and supported by long standing relationships with our key customers. Our capabilities will be strengthened with the support of Heytex. Our customers as well as our employees will benefit from this strategic decision to be part of a larger technical textiles platform. We will also create more power to support our business development efforts going forward.”
Hans-Dieter Kohake, CEO of the Heytex Group: “Heytex is strategically looking for complementary opportunities within the field of technical textile technology to benefit from synergy potential, creating further growth for the Group. The acquisition of TenCate Outdoor Fabrics forms a good opportunity to strengthen our basis in technical textiles with specialistic technological knowledge in respect of outdoor products for the camping and sun awning markets. As a Dutch based textiles company with many years of history, TenCate Outdoor Fabrics fits well in our industrial culture as we are sharing a similar manufacturing back ground. So, I expect a smooth integration within our specialistic group of companies.”

In addition to the selection of the suitable coating, the look, feel and functionality of our products can also be influenced by choosing a suitable embossing.
In addition to anti-slip embossing to reduce the tendency to slip, matt embossing to avoid annoying light reflections, and satin embossing for a high-quality look, there are numerous other options.
The rice straw embossing in our example combines optical and functional aspects. Due to the embossing, the judo mat has a classic appearance that is based on rice straw mats and has the right grip for many martial arts

Heytex says thank you for 115 years of commitment and loyalty.
„Long-standing employees, their experience and skills, are the backbone of any company“,
this was emphasized by plant manager Marko Rother when honoring Heytex’s long-serving employees. A tribute that should have taken place in 2020, but was postponed to this year due to the pandemic. Together with their partners, the company Heytex Bramsche GmbH had invited them to a joint dinner to thank the colleagues for their 25 and 40 years of service.
Until today they have always remained loyal to the company, which has changed a lot in the last decades and continues to expand worldwide. As the company has changed, so have the jubilarians: From career starters to highly qualified professionals in their respective teams. That deserves applause!
The following were honored for 25 years: Marco Correia Martins, inspection, Malcolm Robert Hoare, inspection, and Michael Kirk, sales.
For 40 years we may congratulate: Werner Hermes, Weaving
