What they make

According to their website, CAR I.T.A. FRANCE operates a cutting, sewing and welding facility in Bitche that forms part of the car-ita group, alongside sister sites handling weaving and spinning and lamination. The Bitche plant cuts textile and composite surface materials using laser, CNC and knife or cutter technology, stating a capacity of more than 120,000 cuts per day, and separately runs dedicated cross-cutting and multi-layer cutting equipment. Cut components are assembled using semi-automatic and fully automatic, CNC-based sewing, and joined by ultrasonic welding. An in-house optical inspection system checks dimensional tolerances, contour accuracy, material thickness, colour and surface finish, with full traceability, photographic documentation and just-in-time delivery from dedicated storage; the site states its operations meet Industry 4.0 standards. The Bitche facility specifically states it supplies both the automotive industry and non-automotive sectors, notably building/construction and healthcare, producing automotive trim, dashboard coverings and cable sheathing under the group's caritex and carimelt brands, cable-protection and construction composites under carishield, and antibacterial coatings for health applications under cariclean.
