The
management of the company proudly assures that 'there are three
essential characteristics that define us: the design and creation of
our products, the quality of our products and rapid service we
provide to our clients.
Founded
in 1997, the company began as a producer of elastic fabrics for the
active sportswear sector. Since then, all the personnel associated
with the company are from the fabric or sportswear production
sector, and strive to continually improve the specialization of the
company. 90% of the raw material that is used is polyester. Other
threads and fibers are mixed with the polyester to obtain specific
textures or properties.
Generally,
the fabrics are used for the production of t-shirts, polos,
trousers, underwear, shirts or sweaters, although special fabrics
can be developed for other purposes apart from clothing production,
such as the inner lining of sleeping bags.
These
fabrics demonstrate their high quality and durability when used to
manufacture clothing for sports such as basketball, cycling, soccer,
hockey or rugby. For example, it is typical to find these fabrics
used for school team uniforms.
PRODUCT
The
use of the polyester as the primary raw material, allows to Marfon
Textil to be a true specialist in this field. "We are able to offer
any texture, range, title or type of polyester�.
Polyester
is an excellent fiber for competitive sportswear, since, among its
many advantages, it allows heat transfers to be printed on the
fabric without a problem. It also is a very durable product that
allows airflow, dries quickly, has a high component of antipilling,
etc.
FASHION
In
today�s market, however, it is not sufficient to offer fabrics of
high technical benefits. The product must also be fashionable.
For
this reason, the company develops an annual collection, usually at
the beginning of each year. This collection is improved each year
and is usually extended by about fifteen to twenty new
products.
In
addition to the traditional colour cards and samples, there is an
endless amount of products that are developed and customized to fit
the specific needs of our clients.
A
quick look around our show room in Sabadell
displays a variety of products that we are able to offer our
clients. Our team of research and development continually
strives to develop new fabrics to offer our
clients.
The
customer is able to work closely with the company to reach the ideal
end product to suit their specific needs. In this situation, the
Marfon personnel act as a �tailor� to perfectly suit the needs of
the customer, not only in creating an ideal fabric, but also adding
small elements, such as the jarquard logo.
MADE IN
SPAIN
Any
type of outsourcing of the production outside of our borders is
rejected, as it compromises our quality and service.
Although
manual labour is cheaper in other countries, the saving in
production costs does not compensate the loss of quality and
service. For that, Marfon Textil has a "limitless capacity" of
production, since it works with a great number of subcontracted
factories that operate exclusively for this company.
All
these factories (of spinning, fabrics, dying, finishes, et cetera)
are closely situated to Marfon Textil, in the Vall�s.
In
Spain, our present
portfolio of clients includes approximately sport article ready-made
clothiers of medium and high level. Also, our foreign clientele is
continually growing. We currently have distributors in
France,
Sweden,
Greece and
Denmark.
Our
product also reaches many other countries, such as
Germany,
Holland, Switzerland or Austria.
In
fact, our exports represent 75% of our total sales.
Our
short and long term goals include expanding our product line and
obtaining the quality certification of ISO 2000.
