JUMBO-Textil and vombaur bundle their history of expertise under the joint umbrella of the Textation Group. The two traditional companies for sophisticated high-tech narrow textiles remain independent as companies and brands. In research projects, digitalisation and many other development projects, they use the knowledge transfer and efficiency advantages of the company to powerfully develop forward-looking solutions for their customers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

JUMBO celebrates its centenary. In the beginning, yard goods for narrow textiles, such as cords, strips and braids exclusively formed the basis of our business. Nowadays, we are also an innovative industry partner for high-tech solutions. We develop very special products to suit our customers’ special demands, e.g. in conjunction with non-textile components.<\/p>\n
With more than 100 years of experience and innovative force JUMBO develops and produces customised, technical textiles for the most diverse applications.
\nJUMBO also applies its expertise to match customer requirements in terms of defined forces and elongation properties using elastic, narrow textiles in specific design spaces. We also meet the requirements for sustainable and reliable production processes.<\/p>\n
