Rauch

What they make

According to their website, Rauch is a French textile manufacturer based in Saint-Marcel-l'Éclairé, operating since 1852, that weaves and finishes warp-and-weft fabrics (mainly cotton) for industrial, food, medical and building-sector customers across France and Europe. Core in-house processes include bleaching, dyeing, sizing and coating. For the food industry it supplies undyed, additive-free 100% cotton gauze and cloth used for tea-bag infusions, cheesecloth and ham-packaging netting, certified compliant with EU food-contact regulation 1935/2004. For construction it produces 100% cotton fabrics used to reinforce plaster and repair cracks during renovation. Its coating (enduction) activity applies acrylic, polyurethane and bi-resin finishes in single or multiple layers, tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 class 2 and to NF EN ISO standards covering light-fastness, waterproofing and abrasion resistance, serving tablecloth, outdoor-textile, luggage and technical-textile applications. The company also supplies cotton gauze for medical dressings. Rauch states it runs its own design/technical bureau with daily laboratory testing, and reinvests 7% of turnover in R&D and 8% in its machinery park each year.
