Guardtex | Design and manufacture
of technical textile solutions

OUR DESIGNS AND SOLUTIONS

We design and manufacture protective technical textiles for industry.
We work with design offices, architects, engineers, technicians and buyers of new solutions.

We are a competence centre, driving your performance in aviation, outdoor, safety, boating and other industries, and serving local authorities.

EXPERTISE

Design and manufacture of technical textile solutions
for industry and community facilities.

We design and manufacture high-tech textile solutions. With our 4 areas of expertise, ENGINEERING, DIGITIZATION, CUTTING and ASSEMBLING, we can provide protective covers and accessories ranging in size from just a few centimetres to large formats measuring several dozen metres.

Our added value? Design without having to take physical measurements; custom solutions with mass production efficiency and ultra-short lead times. Our second added value? We focus on the USER.

We often have to deal with complex shapes or spaces that need to be protected, which can prove difficult. And yet, extreme precision is the key to performance. For example, a cover that fits snugly is more effective and lasts longer. On the other hand, a loose cover wears more quickly.

We focus on co-constructing, developing solutions, expediting and proposing areas for improvement.

Our expertise extends from design to manufacturing. We design, digitize, assess the need for reinforcements and produce parts of all sizes. We offer a complete service, including assistance and support to develop a high-performance solution that will be perfect for you.

How do we work? Thanks to our high-tech tools, we dialogue with manufacturers by sharing digital files. For example, architects design in 3D, and Guardtex uses their 3D files. If there are no 3D files, Guardtex will be able to generate them. Our all-digital organisation saves you time and materials and improves your productivity. For example, we have reduced our lead time for boat covers from 3 weeks to 3 days.

We work with design offices, architects, technicians and buyers of new solutions. The industrial sectors we serve include aviation, boating, outdoor, rail transport and safety. Local authorities use our safety solutions for daycare centres, schools and sports facilities and road signage.

Types of designs

Design of technical textiles solutions to protect, cover, safeguard against dust and splashes, ensure confidentiality and save energy: seats, carbon ply, ply reinforcements, protective covers for floors, walls and corners, landing mats, personal safety, climbing barriers, protective covers for aircraft when they are on land, access corridor for production teams, protective covers for hydraulic pumps and pipes, solar panel covers, carbon foils, custom sail covers, deck bags, Lazybags, boat fenders, protective covers for cockpit computer screens.

We design high-tech textile solutions. From design to digitization, Guardtex provides custom solutions, from very small parts to very large formats, from a few centimetres up to several dozen metres.
When evaluating the options available for a new industrial project, companies have several solutions. One of these options is to use the services of an engineering firm. The services include specification of needs, preliminary design, preliminary architectural design, detailed engineering and prototyping.

So how do you choose one engineering firm over another?

Our engineering firm gives you an external resource for your projects, which can open up unexplored avenues, help you optimise your design lead time, define your requirements and develop very complex protective covers. We often have to deal with complex shapes or spaces that need to be protected, which can prove difficult.

Thanks to our high-tech tools, we can dialogue with manufacturers by sharing digital files. For example, architects design in 3D, and Guardtex uses their 3D files. If there are no 3D files, Guardtex will be able to generate them. Our all-digital organisation saves you time and materials and improves your productivity. By working with an engineering firm, you’ll avoid the risk of untested solutions, which can seem less costly at first glance.
