Technical textiles from Chropyně: Czech materials for special projects in Europe
Not every material produced in the SVITAP manufacturing halls in Chropyně is immediately visible in everyday surroundings. In addition to materials for upholstery, public spaces, healthcare or transport, the plant also produces technical textiles for highly specific applications.

One example is a special orange mesh designed for beds in civil defence shelters. Its destination is Switzerland, where it will become part of a project in which the quality, durability and reliability of the material play an important role.
When a material has a clear purpose
Technical textiles are often used wherever functionality is essential. It is not only about appearance, but above all about ensuring that the material meets the specific requirements of the intended application.
In special applications, strength, stability, service life, colour design or the ability to withstand long-term use may be important. Each project has its own brief, and the right material solution must be selected accordingly.
Projects like these show just how wide the range of applications for technical textiles can be.
Production in Chropyně for customers across Europe
The SVITAP plant in Chropyně is a place where manufacturing experience, technical know-how and the ability to respond to individual customer needs come together.
Materials produced here are delivered not only to Czech partners, but also to customers across Europe. Export to Switzerland is one example of how Czech technical textiles can be used in projects beyond national borders.
Even for such specific products, the basic approach remains the same: to understand the customer’s requirements and deliver a material that serves its purpose.
Colour as part of the technical specification
When discussing technical materials, the focus is often mainly on strength, durability and functionality. In some projects, however, colour can be an equally important part of the specification.

The special orange version of the mesh is not just a visual detail. In similar applications, colour can help with material distinction, visibility, identification or meeting specific project requirements.
Thanks to its own manufacturing and development capabilities, SVITAP can work not only with the technical properties of the material, but also with its final appearance.
Technical applications that are not always visible
Many technical textiles perform their role in the background. They are part of structures, equipment, protective elements or specialised solutions where reliable function is the most important requirement.
That is precisely where their value lies. The material must perform over the long term, often in more demanding conditions, without requiring special attention from the user.
Whether it is special meshes, tarpaulin materials, technical covers or other industrial applications, the common basis is the requirement for quality and durability.
Czech production with international reach
The example of the orange mesh for civil defence in Switzerland shows that technical textiles manufactured in Chropyně also have their place in international projects.
SVITAP builds on the tradition of Czech manufacturing while responding to current requirements from industry, public institutions and other partners. Thanks to its experience, in-house production and the possibility of adapting materials to a specific application, the company can offer solutions for a wide range of technical uses.
