Fantex Industrie

What they make

According to their website, Fantex Industrie is a French textile manufacturer based in Flers, Normandy, operating since 1865, that weaves, braids and knits straps (webbing) and ribbons. Production covers widths from 1 to 350 mm, including variable-width, tubular and multi-ply constructions, allowing large-scale customization. The company works with synthetic fibers (polypropylene, polyester, polyamide), technical fibers (Kevlar, Nomex, Dyneema, fiberglass, stainless steel) and natural fibers (cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, viscose), all sourced to meet REACH requirements. Products include technical safety straps for fall-arrest lanyards, harnesses, energy absorbers and lifelines rated from 1 kg to over 58 tonnes, Jacquard-patterned decorative straps and ribbons with custom logos or text, and elastane-based elastic straps and ribbons. Technical ribbons also serve automotive, aerospace and medical customers. Optional flame-resistant, water-repellent and infrared treatments are available. An in-house laboratory tests tensile strength, elongation, abrasion resistance and color. Fantex belongs to the Lécuyer Group, which also runs technical confection, leather goods and accessory workshops in France and Tunisia, giving vertically integrated production from raw fiber to finished part.
