Intertex

What Intertex does

Intertex is a family-owned French textile manufacturing company founded in 1980, headquartered in Haisnes-lez-La-Bassée in northern France. Operating as a SARL (private limited company) with a registered capital of €8,000, the company provides custom textile cutting and sewing services to B2B clients across four main product lines: women's ready-to-wear clothing and accessories, home furnishing textiles (tablecloths, cushions, curtains, bedspreads, throws), technical textiles (automotive fabrics, pool filters, vacuum cleaner bags, shade sails), and marketing/promotional textile products (event flags, banners, advertising cushions). The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified for cutting and assembly of fabrics for the automotive industry.

The technical foundation is built on a 7,500 m² facility (6,000 m² dedicated to production, plus 2,000 m² of storage) equipped with a diversified machine park including overlockers, flatbed sewing machines, gathering machines, pressing irons, thermal bonding machines, button-covering machines, belt loop machines, and eyelet machines. Automated cutting capability is delivered through three Gerber systems and one Bullmer system with backup redundancy. ERP software integrated with production time tracking provides end-to-end production cost visibility. A dedicated bureau d'études (design office) handles the full project lifecycle from cut plan creation and prototyping through sourcing, production follow-up, quality control, packaging, storage, and delivery to client warehouses.

The business model is project-based B2B contract manufacturing with quote-based pricing, no public pricing, and direct sales relationships. The company employs 20 collaborators in France and draws on approximately 400 additional workers through production partnerships in Poland and Romania, allowing it to combine French quality oversight with cost-competitive international production capacity. The stated value proposition centers on flexibility, short delivery times (3-4 weeks average, under 15 days in some cases), and full-service support. The company has no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
