What Ramatex does

Ramatex is a privately held, family-owned textile manufacturer founded in 1990 in Brusque, Santa Catarina, Brazil, operating as one of the established suppliers in the regional textile hub. The company manufactures and sells technical fabrics to confectionists and wholesalers across three horizontal segments: sportswear/fitness, beachwear, and underwear/lingerie. Ramatex operates its own vertically integrated production facility, running complete lines from raw material receipt through packaging and dispatch, complemented by a 2,000m² retail showroom in Brusque for walk-in and immediate-delivery orders.

The company's product portfolio is organized around seven proprietary fabric technologies: UV 50+ protection (blocking up to 98% of UVA/UVB rays), DRY moisture management, Power compression, Smart Clothes care technology (faster drying, no ironing), Comfort thermal regulation, Highclo/CREORA chlorine resistance, and Green Fiber mass-tinted sustainable dyeing (reducing water and energy use by approximately 70%). These technologies are deployed across named fabric lines including Lightness, Fluxy, Compress, Powerfitness, Jacquard, Extreme Protect, Dry Evolution, Eco Light, Cancun, Italia/Italia Light, California, Urban, and Triunfo. The portfolio spans smooth, printed, textured, jacquard, and digital print options, with sustainability positioned as a growing pillar under the GoGreen initiative.

Ramatex operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market model combining field sales representatives covering regional and national Brazilian markets, a physical retail showroom, and direct contact channels (phone and WhatsApp). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue streams include fabric and textile manufacturing (sold to confectionists, wholesalers, and retailers) and digital printing services (Estamparia Digital) for custom fabric designs. Marketing investments center on an educational blog, organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), and newsletter subscriptions, with active content publication through 2026. The company reports 11-50 employees and serves customers exclusively within Brazil.
