What Hexa does

Hexa (Гекса) is a Russian group of companies founded in 1998 that manufactures spunbond nonwoven materials and finished products derived from them. The company operates the full production cycle from polypropylene granules to finished nonwoven products across 5 manufacturing sites, including a manufacturing subsidiary (Gexa-Lotos) located in the Lotos Special Economic Zone in the Astrakhan region, with annual capacity of 355 million m² and 35,000 tons. The portfolio is organized into five sub-brands targeting distinct verticals: Izospan (vapor and moisture barriers for construction since 2001), Geospan (geosynthetics for road and infrastructure construction since 2008), Agrotex (mulch and covering materials for agriculture), Gexa Med (single-use medical products with over 3,000 SKUs), and Ecospan Geo (geotextiles for residential landscaping).

Hexa distributes through a network of 20+ regional offices and trading houses spanning Russia and CIS countries (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus) plus an early European footprint (France), supported by 15,000+ m² of warehouse space. The revenue model centers on direct B2B sales to large institutional buyers (90% of Russian medical institutions for the medical line, named enterprise customers including Gazprom Dobycha Astrakhan), supplemented by dealer and marketplace channels for SMB and consumer-facing product lines (Agrotex, Ecospan Geo). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company holds multiple certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485, GOST R ISO 9001-2015), 48 GOST compliance certificates, and 62 EU-quality-certified production items, maintaining a 2% product rejection rate.

Broad incumbents

• Berry Global (Amcor): Global nonwovens and packaging giant with broad spunbond capabilities serving healthcare, hygiene, and industrial markets. Comparable because it produces polypropylene-based nonwoven fabrics at similar or larger scale across multiple end-uses, though within a much wider portfolio.
• Johns Manville: US-based manufacturer of building and insulation materials including nonwoven facers, glass mats, and geosynthetics. Comparable because it serves the same construction and infrastructure end-markets with engineered nonwoven and geosynthetic products, though via different fiber chemistries.
• DuPont (Tyvek / Sontara): Diversified materials giant with nonwoven building wraps (Tyvek) and medical/industrial nonwovens (Sontara). Comparable because it competes in adjacent categories of construction membranes and medical nonwoven disposables within the same end-market segments as Gexa's Izospan and Gexa Med lines.

Direct peers

• Freudenberg Performance Materials: German-headquartered manufacturer of spunbond nonwovens for construction, automotive, healthcare, and apparel. Direct peer because its product portfolio (interlinings, filtration, building textiles, hygiene nonwovens) closely mirrors Gexa's Izospan/Geospan/Agrotex/Gexa Med lines on a global stage.
• Ahlstrom: Finnish specialty nonwovens producer serving filtration, building, healthcare, and packaging markets. Direct peer because both companies convert polymer fibers into technical nonwoven substrates and finished products for construction, medical, and industrial uses.
• Fitesa: Brazilian-headquartered global spunbond and meltblown nonwovens producer focused on hygiene, medical, and industrial applications. Direct peer because of shared spunbond polypropylene technology platform and overlapping customer base in medical disposables and industrial nonwovens.
• Suominen: Finnish nonwovens manufacturer specializing in spunbond and spunlace substrates for hygiene, medical, and wipes markets. Comparable to Gexa Med's disposable medical and hygiene products through a similar polymer-to-nonwoven conversion process.
• TWE Group: European nonwovens manufacturer producing polyester and polypropylene nonwovens for automotive, construction, filtration, and hygiene applications. Comparable due to overlapping PP-based nonwoven product ranges serving construction and industrial end-uses.
• Tensar International: Specialist in geosynthetics for soil stabilization, road base reinforcement, and infrastructure projects. Direct peer within Gexa's Geospan line because both companies supply engineered geosynthetic solutions for transportation and civil engineering applications.

Regional players

• TechnoNicol: Large Russian manufacturer of construction and building materials including membranes, insulation, and roofing systems. Regional peer because it competes with Izospan in vapor/moisture barriers and shares the same Russian distribution and project channels.
