What cosmotex does

Cosmotex (operating as COLL-LORAS SA) is a European manufacturer of industrial textile machinery, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Cornella de Terri, Girona, Spain. The company designs, manufactures, and sells a complete portfolio of capital equipment organized into four product lines: washing and dyeing equipment (SP-series stone washing machines, SPD-series dyeing machines, S-series dryers, HE-series hydroextractors), cutting room machinery (Apolo-series spreading machines, cutting tables, roll loaders, fabric relaxing machines), knitwear ironing equipment (TV-series steaming tables, TVCON and PRECON conveyor presses, COT continuous-belt ironing, NT2 pants toppers, GV-series steam generators), and screen printing and transfer printing equipment (VULCANO and JUNO carousels, OVAL and LINEAL printers, LYON tunnel dryer, flash dryer, SC-92 continuous transfer press). All machines integrate proprietary COSMOTEX software for programmable recipes stored locally and transferable via USB, and installations can be upgraded with the COSMOTEX Supervision System (CSS), which enables centralized remote monitoring and control over optional Ethernet networks along with online technical support from COSMOTEX engineers.

The company's customers are garment manufacturers and textile factories in Europe, South America (Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia), and major Asian apparel hubs (China, Bangladesh), with a secondary presence in Russia. Cosmotex runs a sales-led go-to-market combining direct sales from its Spanish headquarters, a wholly-owned commercial subsidiary in Blumenau, Brazil (established 1998), dedicated commercial offices in six additional countries, and a worldwide network of independent distributors. Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time hardware sales of capital equipment, with software and online technical support bundled into the equipment sale; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company emphasizes European manufacturing quality, durable builds, CE-approved safety compliance, and eco-friendly machine designs that reduce water, energy, and chemical consumption. There is no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or leadership change in the available data, and the company appears to operate as an independent, family-owned private business.
