Tissage Mouline Thillot

What Tissage Mouline Thillot does

Tissage Mouline Thillot (TMT) is a French textile manufacturer founded in 1926 and headquartered at 2 rue de la Mouline, Le Thillot, in the Vosges department of France. The company operates two production plants and runs a fully vertically integrated manufacturing chain spanning spinning, weaving, and fully automated tailoring/sewing. TMT produces approximately 2,000 tonnes of yarn per year (around 250 tonnes per month) across more than 30 references from Nm 10 to Nm 56, weaves fabric on 96 projectile and air jet machines (widths 60–400 cm, seamless up to 2,000 meters), and finishes 1 million bed sheets per year plus other flat linens such as pillow covers, duvet covers, surgical drapes, towels, and aprons. Its fiber expertise covers cotton, organic cotton, linen, hemp, and bamboo as well as blends with acrylic, polyamide, polyester, and viscose; products are supplied in grey (écru), bleached, or dyed form.

TMT's customer base of approximately 300 enterprise buyers spans 25 export countries and is segmented across four B2B verticals: hotels and hospitality, hospitals and healthcare facilities, linen rental companies, and collective facilities (EHPAD, nursing homes, schools). The company sells exclusively through direct field sales, with named regional account managers for France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and export markets, supplemented by trade-show activity and a multilingual (French/English/German) website. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, with multi-year contract cadence; products are sold on a one-time manufacturing/purchase basis rather than via subscription. Since 2006, TMT has operated as a SASU subsidiary of the INCOPAR textile group (founded 1825), and the business holds ISO 14001, ISO 9001, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GOTS, Vosges Terres Textile, and France Terre Textile certifications, which serve as key qualification criteria for institutional and healthcare tenders.

TMT's revenue model is industrial B2B manufacturing with a mix of intermediate goods (grey fabric, finished/ennobled fabric, yarn) and higher-margin finished flat linens, all priced per quote. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by trade shows and a LinkedIn/newsletter presence; there is no retail or e-commerce channel. There are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or restructuring events beyond the 2006 INCOPAR integration, and revenue, headcount, and pricing figures are not publicly disclosed. No AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or technology partnerships are evident; the company's competitive position rests on its rare in-house spinning-to-sewing integration, century-long heritage, certification portfolio, and proximity to European institutional buyers.
