Tana-Tex

What Tana-Tex does

Tana-Tex LLC is a privately held Chicago-based manufacturer and international distributor of textile products engineered specifically for healthcare and institutional environments. Founded in 1980, the company designs and sources Integral Mesh Fabrics, Jacquard Woven Fabrics, and Institutional Grade Bedspreads used as cubicle curtains, privacy curtains, screen curtains, window treatments, and bedding in Acute Care Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, Out Patient Clinics, and Schools and Universities. The company originated the single-piece integral mesh construction and remains the self-described worldwide primary source for that technology.

The core product technology centers on one-piece flame-retardant integral mesh construction using 100% upholstery-grade polyester, with proprietary dye sublimation printing that the company claims delivers the widest color palette in the textile industry and superior colorfastness to light and laundering. The jacquard woven line uses 183cm/72-inch-wide constructions paired with fiber-compatible Jordan Soft Mesh and triple-reinforced headers for laundering durability. Bedspreads add Visa Intrinsic stain-release finish, bonded polyester fiberfill, preshrunk 70/30 poly/cotton lining, and lock-stitch hems. All fabrics meet NFPA 701; printed Integral Mesh is Healthier Hospitals Program Compliant; products are California Prop 65 Compliant and Made in the USA. Sub-brands include the Point of View Collection, Kaylor Kube® (registered trademark), Cardigan Stain Release, Square Root Antimicrobial, and Wall Source Group.

Tana-Tex operates a B2B channel-led go-to-market, selling exclusively through Architects, Interior Design Professionals, Wholesalers, Dealers, and Contract Jobbers rather than direct to end facilities. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contracts and no publicly disclosed pricing. The company is privately owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no public leadership roster in the source material. Management team, employee count beyond an 11–50 range, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
