Van de Wiele develops, builds, assembles and installs carpet and velvet weaving machines. Carpet and velvet consist like flat weaves of warp and weft yarns, but have an additional third dimension: the pile yarns. Thanks to this unique weaving technique, our weaving machines can weave high-grade carpets and the finest velvets since more than 125 years, in weaving mills all over the world.
During these 125 years, Van de Wiele has been growing constantly. Together with Bonas, IRO-ROJ, Memminger-IRO, Titan and Griffith, we share our knowledge and expertise in the broad area of textile technology.
Carpet has a broad range of applications: sized rugs, wall-to-wall carpet, bath rugs, prayer rugs, ... The Van de Wiele carpet weaving machines weave for all these applications carpets from the most economical to the highest qualities in all pile materials: polypropylene, heat set, wool, ...
The main applications of velvet are upholstery, apparel and automobile. The Van de Wiele velvet weaving machines exist in an execution for plain and dobby velvet and an execution for Jacquard velvet.
