:: Belgian Fibers

The Company

BELGIAN FIBERS SA was established in 1984 as an independent company to produce Polyolefin as well as Polypropylene staple fibres.
The initial capacity of 4.000 ton/year capacity was based on a Fare-extrusion line. Applications were spinning and nonwoven carpeting. To meet the demands of our customers BELGIAN FIBERS offered a range of deniers, cutlenghts and colours. Currently BELGIAN FIBERS has a library of over 2500 different colours and shades. To achieve the best colour match possible BELGIAN FIBERS has pre-compounding for uni-coloured master batches and blending rooms. Belgian Fibers can load up to 24 tons in a high cube 40’ container.

The capacity was raised to 15.000 annual tons in 2002 due to the rising demand in automotive applications. A new warehouse was added and a covered area of 11.000 m² was made at our disposition to stock the different qualities in an orderly way. Numbers of on-line control systems were added to the production lines to manage the different demand of our customers.

2003 Automatic baling systems give more possibility to our collaborators to use their time in quality control. The bales are circled with Polyester straps under the plastic wrap. Opening a bale is now without risk of injuries.

2004-2008 Short cut for application such as concrete fibre, Paper industry, refractory, precast, etc……. were introduced on an industrial scale and today whatever needs of the customer in shortcut fibre can be met. A range of cutlenghts from 3mm up to 48 mm can be delivered in different packaging systems. Today a full automatic packaging allows a capacity up to 20 tons per day in 600 gr/bag.

2005 - 2008 BELGIAN FIBERS starts the production of High Tenacity Fiber. Within 2 years of stressing research a quality was developed reaching 55 cN/tex with approx 100% elongation.

Today Belgian Fibers is one of the mayor independent Polyolefin fibre producers in the world. The turnover grow steadily to reach 20.000.000,00€ in 2008. Flexibility and efficiency are essential to meet the needs of our customers. The fully equipped laboratory monitors the quality of our products.

We are currently developing new types of fibres and are very happy to answer whatever question you might have.
