Weaving
We produce your ideas with enthusiasm
The quality of our fabrics comes from the careful preparation of raw materials and follow-up of all stages of the process. We produce fabrics with great technical complexity, combining technological innovation with our know-how in the textile sector. The principle of our weaving is to provide a reliable and flexible response to your requirements.
- More than 2 000 000 m2 of fabric produced per year
- 12 colour sample warp
- Narrow and wide dobby looms
- Wide width jacquard looms with 1- and 3-meters reporting capacity
Our raw materials
Cotton (conventional, organic and recycled) | Linen | Silk | Others
Cotton blends with:
Linen | Cashmere | Silk | Viscose | Polyester | Modal | Tencel | Others
Finishing
We turn your ideas into more value
At Rifer we place special emphasis on this step and are proud to count it as one of our key strengths. Our processing standard is carried out under the supervision of qualified professionals, ensuring the high performance of fabrics at the level of comfort, functionality and aesthetics.
We give the fabric finishes in terms of colour, touch, shine and appearance. We are equipped with machines that allow a lower bathing ratio, ensuring greater economic and environmental sustainability.
- Support from the chemical laboratory in the creation and correction of solid colours
- Preparation area: desizing, washing, bleaching, mercerization and discoloration
- Dyeing for narrow and wide width fabrics, with minimum quantities of 500 meters
- Finishing services: waterproof, fireproof, water-repellent, pre-shrinking, antibacterial, crease-resistant, easy-care and finishes with essences, among others
Digital Printing with Pigment
We bring your ideas to life through rapid and sustainable development
The fabric is pre-treated before printing to get excellent light fastness properties and colour performance.
Digital printing with pigments offers faster processing times and much higher environmental attributes because it does not require steaming and subsequent washing. It does not require the consumption of water and chemicals, and therefore, the treatment of effluents is lower.
- Digital printing up to 320cm wide
- There are no limitations of colour, design or rapport
- Minimum quantities of 300 meters
Quality Control
Your satisfaction is the best feedback we can get
We are proud to act in accordance with the ISO 9001 quality management system, with the aim of continuously improving the level of satisfaction of our customers.
Tests are carried out on all fabrics throughout the production chain to ensure functionality and maximum product quality. Our fabrics are submitted to inspection and control processes, and if applicable, correction. 90% of the tests are carried out in our laboratories. We work with extremely demanding specifications, according to strict quality standards.
Supported by our production integration, team work and management systems we are able to obtain information in real time, allowing the optimization of operations and transport.
