Montex completes 40 years in 2022. This Austrian company makes Monforts finishing machines. The core Monforts machine range, including the industry standard Montex stenters, along with relaxation dryers, Thermex dyeing ranges, Monfortex compressive shrinking ranges and Montex coating units, is built at the Austrian site.From the outset, Montex has specialised in all aspects of machine production, including high-precision sheet metal working, laser cutting and welding, and the pre-assembly of machines and components, along with a well-organised quality management and spare parts service.

While there is standardisation in series-produced Monforts machines, Montex also makes bespoke machines with unique designs, according to the special needs of customers in technical textiles or special textiles. The company aims for the best combination of already-proven components and carefully-tested special constructions and is equipped to handle large projects.

Montex’s training system combines theoretical instruction in a vocational school with practical training both within the company and in workshops.Established staff also train regularly to develop new skills and everyone is involved at all stages of production and trained to multi-task. This gives the group flexibility and strength. The research and development team in Germany takes the latest new ideas through testing and prototyping, in readiness for future series production.
