Sarl Tissus

What they make

According to their website, SARL Tissus (trading as Michèle Lemaire) is a French textile transformer and finisher founded in 1985, rooted in the historic textile region of the Cambrésis (Hauts-de-France). Its core specialty is textile thermoforming — heat-molding fabric into three-dimensional shapes without stitching, preserving the fabric's original characteristics. This technique serves haute couture and interior decoration clients as well as technical/industrial sectors including medical, automotive, sports equipment and aeronautics. The company also offers fabric quilting and 3D textile work, inserting a layer of wadding or polyurethane between two fabrics using custom-made molds to create relief patterns for wall coverings, seating and garments, plus embroidery services built up over more than 30 years. All output is made to order — there are no catalog products; each project begins with a feasibility study. Production runs across two French sites: the original Walincourt-Selvigny facility and a newer, technology-equipped plant in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The company states it received the 1999 Oscar International du Textile award in the Fibers and Materials category.
