By working closely together with our customers we do not only meet the demands of today – we also always keep an eye on the challenges of tomorrow.
Take a look at the most diverse markets and applications of our technical textiles:
Our industrial customers rely on MEHLER. We offer textile solutions for various industrial applications. An important topic is the use of textiles to reinforce different types of rubber products. In addition, our textiles are used to provide specific functionality for industrial processes, such as the use as a liner or impregnation fabric, or as textile-based composite materials.
Conveyor belts transport light to ultra-heavy goods from one place to another. They are used in industrial applications as well as in coal and ore mining, both above and below ground. We develop and produce fabrics for reinforcing rubber-based conveyor belts. Our portfolio covers the entire spectrum of open to very dense woven fabrics, optimized fabric finishes and different tensile strengths to achieve the required conveyor belt characteristics. As an alternative to steel-reinforcements, we offer aramid-based solutions with same strengths at about 5 times less weight. Aramid-based conveyor belts enable an easier handling during assembly works, reduced energy consumption during operation and longer life-times of the belts.
Rubber seals, gaskets and profiles are used to protect and seal materials and objects. We develop and manufacture yarn and woven fabrics to provide functionality such as adhesion to rubber, tensile and structural strengths, and temperature and pressure stability.
Hoses are used in various industrial applications requiring fluid handling. The requirements are manifold, depending on the transported substances, system pressure, temperature, transfer rates, and other criteria. The substances can be as simple as air and water or as complex as hazardous or corrosive chemicals. We develop and manufacture yarns and woven fabrics to reinforce industrial hoses. Typical criteria include tensile strength, controlled elongation, modulus, fatigue resistance and adhesion to rubber or other polymers.
Pipes are used to transport substances such as crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) or chemicals. Hard and extreme operating conditions are common. The demands on performance, material durability and product lifetime are typically very high. We develop and manufacture fabrics for reinforcement of industrial and offshore hoses. Typical criteria include tensile strength, controlled elongation, modulus, fatigue resistance, adhesion to rubber or other polymers, temperature and pressure stability, and long product lifetime.
A filter is a porous device that separates solids from fluids. We manufacture woven fabrics that are used in filter systems for various applications.
Textile banners and billboards for outdoor and indoor use are eye-catchers. Our extensive fabric portfolio is based on proven high-tenacity polyester yarns as well as on non-inflammable glass fiber yarns. We offer our fabrics in greige, treated, PVC- or PU-coated in widths up to 500 cm. Our fabrics can be used in common printing processes such as digital printing, screen printing or sublimation printing.
Cables are used to transmit energy or digital information. Textile fabrics reinforce the cable cover and simply the assembly process.
Membranes prevent the mixing of two layers. We develop and produce a comprehensive range of tailor-made membranes used for separating, protecting and filtering. We use high strength yarns that allow high capacity load and meet specific requirements such as tensile strength, dimension stability, mesh size, UV resistance and durability.

The comfort of cows is one of the most important criterion for insuring their productivity. To achieve high milk production, cows must be in a comfortable environment and feel well. If the stable is not comfortable, the cow will spend less time lying down, which can affect milk production, well-being and health. Cow mats have the ability to protect the cow from hard and cold soils. The mats must be very strong and tough, resistant to moisture and temperature changes, and easy to clean. They are usually made from recycled and textile-reinforced rubber. We offer a comprehensive range of woven fabrics used to reinforce cow mats. The matting fabrics are available in different colors up to a width of 300 cm.
