Murtra

What Murtra does

Murtra, legally Industrias Murtra, S.A., is a privately held family-owned textile manufacturer founded in 1892 and headquartered in Granollers, Barcelona, Spain. The company operates through two specialized divisions under a single integrated site. The Industrial Division manufactures technical tapes, threads, accessories, and slings for lifting, load-securing, work-safety, and military-equipment applications, including harnesses and rigid industrial tapes. The Decoration Division produces tapes, curtains, components, rails, bars, and complementary accessories for window decoration and curtain installation, offered in both standard and custom-made formats. Together these form a dual-segment B2B product portfolio rooted in technical textile manufacturing.

The company's underlying technology is conventional textile manufacturing applied to two narrow product niches, supported by an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system audited by LRQA. Manufacturing and operational activity is concentrated at the Granollers facility (c/ Jordi Camp, 94), described as the International Headquarters of the Murtra Group. Recent capex activity includes a 100kW photovoltaic installation and a new dyeing line, partially funded through Spanish public grants from CDTI and IDAE/PRTR/FNEE, indicating active investment in energy efficiency and finishing capabilities.

Murtra's business model is direct B2B sales through a dedicated commercial team, with pricing provided on a quotation basis rather than published list pricing. The company serves two primary use-case segments — industrial lifting/safety (including military) and decorative window solutions — and supports customer engagement in Spanish, English, and French. Revenue is generated from hardware sales across both divisions, with no software, subscription, or platform revenue component. There are no disclosed customers, headcount figures, or financial metrics in the public source material.
