Broad incumbents

• Kordsa: Global leader in tire and construction reinforcement technologies, producing tire cord fabrics and other technical textiles that overlap with Beratex's role in the tyre value chain. Much larger and broader in scope, but serves the same downstream tyre manufacturers.
• Milliken & Company: US-based diversified textile manufacturer with a technical textiles division serving automotive, industrial, and protective markets. Comparable as a technical textile producer for industrial B2B customers, but operating at a much larger scale.
• Teijin Limited: Japanese materials company producing aramid and other high-performance fibers used in tire reinforcement and industrial textiles. Relevant as a deep-pocketed supplier into the same tire value chain, though operating across many other end markets.
• Sioen Industries: Belgian manufacturer of technical textiles including coated and laminated fabrics for industrial, protective, and automotive applications. Larger and broader portfolio, but overlapping capability in technical coated/technical fabrics relevant to tyre-adjacent markets.
• Trelleborg AB: Swedish polymer engineering group whose engineered fabrics and rubber-coated textile solutions serve automotive and industrial customers. Comparable only at the broad-industry level — substantially larger and more diversified than Beratex.
• ContiTech (Continental AG): Continental subsidiary producing industrial rubber products with significant textile-reinforced components for automotive and industrial customers. Overlaps with Beratex as a large textile-reinforcement player in the tyre/rubber ecosystem, though part of a much wider portfolio.

Direct peers

• Mehler Texnologies: German manufacturer of technical textiles including coated and laminated fabrics for industrial, automotive, and protective applications. Comparable Mittelstand technical textile peer serving similar industrial B2B customers.
• SR Webatex GmbH: German technical textiles manufacturer producing woven fabrics and webbings for industrial end uses. Directly comparable as a Mittelstand industrial fabric specialist serving similar B2B applications.
• Marlen Textiles: US manufacturer of industrial textiles including coated and treated fabrics for rubber, automotive, and industrial end uses. Comparable specialty industrial fabric producer with a similar B2B customer profile to Beratex.
• Verseidag-Indutex GmbH: German manufacturer of technical textiles for industrial and architectural applications, including coated and high-performance fabrics. Comparable specialty textile peer operating from Germany with similar B2B industrial customer focus.
