Kavalan and Matic form strategic partnership

Kavalan has shared details of its strategic partnership with Matic, a cutting, welding, and sewing equipment solutions manufacturer for the textile manufacturing sector.

Founded in 1969 in Barcelona, Spain, Matic initially focused on machinery for the garment sector before expanding into new markets, including solar protection, roller shades, digital printing, and curtains. Driven by customer needs, Matic began innovating with cutting-edge machines for cutting, welding, sewing, and handling industrial textiles, staying true to their initial focus on advanced technology and ease of use.

Kavalan approached Matic to suggest a trial and evaluation of  Kavalan’s new industrial textiles and wide-format digital printing materials. Three materials were tested—Sunlight Weldable, Moonlight River, and the new Kavalan Industrial fabric. “The three textiles worked very well with Matic machines during our tests,” continues Pascal. “We used the Matic Perseo 4000 Impulse welding machine to weld Kavalan’s Sunlight Weldable and industrial fabric. Additionally, we used the Cronos 4.0 sewing machine to sew Kavalan’s SEG material, Moonlight River,” says Pascal Goiran, Area Manager, Matic.

“We were immediately impressed by their commitment to creating high-quality, sustainable products and promoting the reduction of resource consumption and environmental impact,” continues Goiran.
“I am delighted to say the results were flawless. What impressed me the most was that Kavalan's innovative industrial textiles welded perfectly with our Perseo 4000 Impulse welding machine in three seconds, compared to the seven seconds typically required for traditional PVC materials. This is truly remarkable.”

Nova Abbott, Head of Marketing at Kavalan, adds, “Working with Matic has been a fantastic experience, and we at Kavalan are thrilled by the positive outcome and successful trialling of our PVC-free materials on the Matic welding and sewing equipment. Matic’s company principles of symbiosis and shared prosperity are a perfect embodiment of the similar mindset and approach to the market that our businesses have in common, with a strong focus on delivering what our customers need in an innovative and sustainable way.”

Goiran finishes,  “We are proud to partner with Kavalan. I believe their innovative approach aligns closely with Matic's vision. Their commitment to developing eco-friendly materials sets new industry standards, inspires manufacturers to rethink what is possible, and drives the industry toward better and more sustainable solutions.”
