Aurich Textilien

What Aurich Textilien does

Aurich Textilien (legal entity Gebrüder Aurich GmbH) is a family-owned German manufacturer of technical textiles founded in 1967 and headquartered in Radevormwald. The company operates three production locations with more than 90 employees and runs a fully integrated value chain spanning yarn procurement, warping, weaving, knitting, finishing, lamination, and shipping — all under a 100% Made in Germany positioning. Its product portfolio is organized into three core categories: flag fabrics (Flag Impact, Flag Superb, Flag Prime, Flag Plus GT, Flag Beach, plus SEAQUAL sustainable variants), digital printing textiles (Digi Aurora, Super Nova, Matrix, Satoshi), and technical textiles serving automotive, healthcare, water filtration, and consumer goods end-uses. The portfolio is supported by three registered patents covering long-life flags, lightweight woven fabrics, and wind-resistant knitted flags.

The company generates revenue through B2B direct sales of its own textile products and through custom contract manufacturing services (warping, weaving, knitting, lamination, finishing) developed jointly with customers. Pricing is quote-based and handled through a dedicated sales team with no public pricing tiers; contracts are typically multi-year. Go-to-market is sales-led with bottom-of-funnel engagement via direct sales contacts and top-of-funnel content through the company website and downloadable technical data sheets. End-customers span flag manufacturers, digital print substrate users, automotive Tier suppliers, hygiene/medical product makers, water filtration OEMs, and outdoor consumer goods brands, primarily across Europe. Recent strategic emphasis is on sustainability via the 2024 SEAQUAL INITIATIVE partnership and recycled-ocean-plastic product line, alongside maintenance of certifications including ISO 9001:2015 and OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
