About us

FET designs, develops and manufactures bespoke extrusion equipment in Laboratory, Pilot or Production scale for a wide range of high value textile material applications worldwide.

“Innovative Fibre Solutions”

 

Introduction

Fibre Extrusion Technology Limited (FET) was established in 1998 with the firm objective of achieving technical excellence in our field and helping customers to efficiently produce high value textile materials. The company designs, develops and manufactures bespoke extrusion equipment in Laboratory, Pilot or Production scale for a wide range of high value textile material applications worldwide.

Our customers tell us that, much more than just a supplier, they need the services of a true partner to succeed – one with comprehensive experience, knowhow and a proven track record, working with some of the world’s foremost technological innovators.

Managing Director, Richard Slack explains where FET’s main strength lies. “In particular FET excels at finding solutions where others cannot. New Product Development and R&D departments often approach us with unique challenges related to man-made fibre and yarn extrusion issues. We are proud to have an extremely high success rate in achieving solutions”.

 

Major products

  • The FET-100 Series is the mainstay of the FET range of meltspinning products, offering considerable flexibility with interchangeable production formats, such as Multifilament, Nonwoven and Monofilament.
  • Where melt spinning solutions cannot succeed, FET provides a viable alternative with pilot and small scale production FET-200 Wet Spinning Systems. Also available are vertical wet spinning and dry jet wet spinning versions.
  • The latest addition to FET’s product portfolio is the FET Spunbond Nonwoven system, a technical variation on the meltspinning process, which can enable fibre properties such as absorbency, washability and liquid repellence.
  • Spunbond can also be twinned with meltspun technology to enable Composite nonwoven systems, where specific properties can be combined.

 

The FET Fibre Development Centre

Following a large investment programme, the Fibre Development Centre opened in 2023. Customers now benefit from an enhanced process development laboratory and support facilities for client testing and product development, specifically designed to make their stay more efficient and comfortable. Ample meeting room and office space in this building has freed up over 50% additional capacity for design, production and other facilities elsewhere.

Typical examples of materials tested at the Fibre Development Centre include biomedical materials; specialized novel fibres; sustainable polymers; biodegradable and composting materials; textiles for a wide range of composites; functional textile materials; and non-woven materials from viscous polymers.

 

Sustainability

Our principle theme at Techtextil is Sustainability. FET systems are ideally suited for both process and end-product development of sustainable materials, enabling customers to undertake their own process development in-house. 

With installations in over 35 countries, FET is geared to working within the global marketplace and with diverse cultures.
