Etalan

What Etalan does

Etalan, legally operating as Taschner Indústria Têxtil Ltda (CNPJ 83.539.429/0001-89), is a Brazilian textile manufacturer founded in 1977 and headquartered in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina. The company produces circular knit fabrics — moletom (fleece), meia malha (single jersey), escolar (school fabric), suedine, and helanca — through a vertically integrated operation that combines weaving (tecelagem), dyeing (tinturaria), and finishing (acabamento) under one roof on a 100,000 m² site. Inputs are sourced from leading domestic and international raw-material suppliers, and the company invests annually in new fabric research and modern equipment.

The business serves two primary vertical segments: schools and educational institutions purchasing knit fabrics for uniforms, and textile/garment manufacturers sourcing circular knit inputs. Products are sold ready-to-deliver across an extensive color palette (50+ color codes) and distributed through a nationwide representative network that reaches institutional and manufacturing buyers across Brazil. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is described as quote-based, varying by volume, specifications, and color customization — consistent with standard B2B textile commercial practice.

The commercial model is sales-led B2B with no online transactional channel, no SaaS or licensing revenue, and no disclosed external capital. Revenue, headcount trend, and customer-specific sales mix are not publicly available. Etalan operates as a privately held, independent company with no parent, subsidiary, or investor affiliations disclosed in the source data.
