THE BEGINNING
From silk spinning to technical glass fibre fabrics – in the town of Tolna, with almost a century and a half of continuity.
The current profile of TOLNATEXT Yarn Processing and Technical Textile Manufacturing Bt. is primarily the production of various technical glass fibre textiles. Yet this company with its long and distinguished history began its journey well before today's product range — at the end of the 19th century.
The company's roots go back to 1898, when silk cocoon processing began in the town of Tolna and provided a livelihood for local women for almost a hundred years.
In the early 1990s, as market demand changed, the production profile was transformed: silk spinning was replaced by the manufacture of technical textiles, and within that of glass fibre fabrics. This transition not only secured the company's survival but set it on a new growth path.
TOLNATEXT Bt. previously operated as a member of the BAUFAS and KAST group; today, as part of the KAST group, the glass fibre fabrics made in the Tolna plant reach many countries across Europe — into external thermal insulation systems, interior design solutions and industrial composite products.
Our company builds on a constant balance between tradition and innovation: we respect the textile expertise accumulated since 1898, while continuously developing our technology to meet the requirements of 21st-century construction and the technical textile industry.
Our ISO 9001:2015 certified system ensures that every roll leaves the production line with the same high quality.
Textile expertise accumulated since 1898 and continuous innovation are the guarantee of outstanding product quality.
We maintain long-term relationships with our customers based on joint development — we do not simply supply, we cooperate.
