What Maille Verte Vosgienne does

Maille Verte Vosgienne (MVV) is a French manufacturer of industrial technical knits, founded approximately in 1976 and headquartered in Saint-Nabord in the Vosges (Grand-Est) region of France. The company operates a vertically integrated production facility spanning the full chain from knitting through finishing, with in-house color formulation and quality testing labs. Its core product portfolio covers four end-market verticals: automotive interior textiles, professional and protective workwear (including high-visibility PPE compliant with EPI HV standards), medical and professional bedding, and other specialized technical knit applications.

The company addresses the technical textile supply needs of European industrial customers — both innovative SMEs and large international groups — across demanding sectors such as automotive equipment manufacturers and professional protective clothing. Business model is B2B direct sales with quote-based, custom-specification pricing; revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm actively participates in European industry trade shows including Techtextil Frankfurt, A+A, and Performance Days Munich, and markets dedicated R&D services for custom article development based on customer samples and specifications.

The company is privately held with no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public ownership structure. Headcount is 13 employees. Strategic positioning is built on vertical integration, nearly 50 years of operational heritage, and specialized technical expertise in custom knit development and color/quality lab services rather than scale or proprietary technology differentiation.
