What Lentex does

Lentex S.A. (WSE:LTX) is a Polish, publicly listed manufacturer headquartered in Lubliniec that operates two distinct product franchises under one corporate roof. The first is flexible PVC floor coverings, sold in residential collections (Bonus, Maxima Eko, Balance, Serenity, Vitality, Impact) and commercial collections (Orion, Orion Chips, Lupus, Ranger, Pionieer, Voyager), distributed through a network of major Polish DIY chains — Castorama, Leroy Merlin, Obi, Komfort, Merkurymarket, and Grupa PSB — plus specialized flooring stores. Lentex positions itself as the largest PVC floor covering producer in Poland and the only manufacturer of 3- and 4-meter-wide PVC coverings in Central Europe, supported by proprietary INVERTECH surface technology used in its Ranger and Voyager commercial lines.

The second franchise is nonwoven fabrics, produced via four core technologies — Spunlace (water-jet), Thermobond (thermal), needle-punched (mechanical), and Chemobond (chemical) — plus specialty products including Lentex Ball silicone fiber balls, bentonite mats, and renovation mats. Nonwovens are sold direct to B2B customers across automotive, furniture, hygiene/medical, filtration, clothing, construction, and agriculture through a vertical-specialized sales team. The company maintains ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, and FSC chain-of-custody certifications, and operates in-house metrology and chemical laboratories to qualify with automotive OEMs.

Lentex earns revenue through one-off industrial and consumer sales (no subscription or licensing model disclosed) at quote-based prices negotiated through direct B2B account management or retail channel partners. Founded in 1911 as Union Textile S.A., it began PVC flooring production in 1974, was privatized and listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 1997, and has operated continuously for over 100 years. It currently employs 101-250 people and is led by President Adrian Grabowski (appointed January 2022), with Anna Wojciechowska as Finance & Economics Director and Wojciech Hoffmann focused on restructuring and strategic investments.

Products and services

• Spunlace (Water-Jet Bonded) Nonwovens High-quality nonwoven fabrics produced using water jet entanglement (hydroentanglement) technology.

Used across hygiene, medical, filtration, and other technical applications.
• Thermobond (Thermally Bonded Flat) Nonwovens Nonwovens produced through calendering using temperature and pressure. The result is a very thin product with appropriate strength, used in automotive, clothing, and hygiene industries.
