Mermet

What they make

According to their website, Mermet was founded in 1951 by Henri Mermet as a weaving company and moved into solar protection in 1976, originally weaving glass-fibre fabrics for vertical blinds. The company still weaves its own glass-fibre yarns, coating or priming them after weaving on looms with widths up to 320 cm, and states an annual output of about 2.55 million square metres of fabric from its plant in Les Avenieres Veyrins-Thuellin, France, where it employs 182 people; a second production site in the United States has operated since 2000. In 2020 it added new coating lines, large-width looms and a pilot line. The catalogue spans roughly 680 references, from transparent screen fabrics at several openness levels to fully opaque blackout fabrics and an acoustic-absorbing range, aimed at both residential and commercial buildings. Fabrics are tested against fire standards such as EN 13501-1 and DIN 4102-1, and the company reports sales in over 60 countries. It has been part of the Hunter Douglas group since 2005.
