What Selvafil does

Selvafil S.A. is a Spanish manufacturer of spun technical yarns founded in 1973 and headquartered in Maçanet de la Selva, Girona. The company operates three colocalized production plants in the Puigtiò Industrial Park and produces yarns in counts from NM=5 to NM=100 using ring spinning specialities (Sirospun, Corespun, Flamé, Multicount) plus Open End spinning. Production equipment is sourced from premium European machinery suppliers — Rieter (ring spinning frames, carding machines, drawframes), SSM (assembling machines), VOLKMANN (twisting), and Murata (automatic winding) — with FA.NI spindle-level detectors providing on-line quality control, barcode-based material and batch traceability, and a 24/7 in-house laboratory for R&D and quality testing. The company claims to operate the most modern and automated cut fiber spinning mill in Europe.

Selvafil operates a direct B2B enterprise field sales model, manufacturing custom yarns to individual customer specifications across eight primary use-case segments: personal protection, dry filtration, automotive and aeronautical, outdoor/awning, wet filtration, sanitary/medical, contract decoration, and sewing thread. Fiber supply is anchored by partnerships with major specialty fiber producers — Trevira (core partner via Trevira CS Club Silver membership), Kermel, Teijin Aramid, Lenzing, Rhovyl, AKSA, and DuPont (Dolan). Commercial reach is supported by participation in the Techtextil Frankfurt trade fair (2011, 2013) and a multilingual website covering Catalan, Spanish, French, German, and English. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed; lot sizes, fiber blends, twist constructions and packaging (cylindrical or conical supports, up to 4.5 kg bobbin) are customized per order, with 100% knot-free delivery via splicer technology.

Selvafil has invested continuously in capacity expansion and modernization since founding: a second plant for mass-pigmented fibers was added in 1986 (automated in 1995), a third automated plant opened in April 1998, the first plant underwent total renovation from 2004 to 2008, and a 2.5M EUR enlargement was completed at the Maçanet site in April 2013. The company was recognized as SME of the Year of Girona in 2019 and as a Silver Member of the Trevira CS Club in 2012. Leadership rests with Director General Josep Pujol. Selvafil S.A. is privately held with no external funding rounds, no M&A activity, no disclosed revenue, and operates primarily in Europe with Spain as the core market.
