We use the latest technologies in technical embroidery

Discover the world of intelligent textiles with ILO Technology

We specialize in technical embroidery and three-dimensional embroidery. We know how to use high-tech conductive yarns and fibers applied to a wide variety of materials.

TextiTherm® represents our major innovation in technical textiles, designed for a variety of applications, such as flexible heating elements, textile sensors and composite applications.

Embroidery technology

High-tech conductive threads and fibers are embroidered to form ultra-flexible, fabric-like heating mats that can be adapted to a wide range of applications.

We are able to produce parts of any size, from the smallest to the largest, and always with the same precision and technical know-how. Whatever shape the customer requires, we guarantee results that meet the highest standards.

What’s more, we can create heating elements specific to any environment, whether medical, construction or rail, ensuring perfect adaptation to the unique needs of each sector.

Precision Cutting Technologies

Our camera-assisted cutting systems ensure fast, precise separation of embroidered elements. CNC cutters and CO2 lasers enable precision work on complex patterns, suitable for both synthetic fibers and specialized technical textiles.

Laser cutting offers welded edges, preventing textiles from fraying and guaranteeing a high-quality finish.

The Capabilities and Advantages of Technical Textiles

Technical textiles, also known as smart textiles, are innovative materials that incorporate advanced capabilities such as electrical conduction, heating, data transmission and reception, as well as measurement and lighting.

These textiles succeed in incorporating these functionalities while retaining their fundamental properties such as flexibility, robustness, dimensional stability and performance.

These characteristics enable them to meet the growing need for integrated, multifunctional technology in a variety of sectors.

Laminating Solutions

Embroidered semi-finished products are processed by cold or hot lamination, depending on requirements and materials. Cold lamination uses self-adhesive equipment for easy handling.

Our hot laminating press enables elements to be joined with other materials, protecting threads from external influences and adding properties such as patchability or conductivity. This process reaches temperatures of up to 200 degrees.

Our lamination technology fuses two textile surfaces under heat and pressure, ideal for functional textiles. It also protects electrical and electronic components in the production of heating elements and flexible printed circuits.

Integrated sensors

We can supply semi-finished products with electrical connections on request. In addition to special embroidery for various components on brackets, ILO Technology uses splicing and brazing techniques for reliable, cost-effective connections. Parts are crimped or soldered as standard on our premises.

Thermal switches, NTCs and other cable solutions can also be integrated. Special connectors can be used, ensuring that semi-finished products are ready for use as soon as they leave our factory.

Our Quality Commitment

At ILO Technology, we put the quality of our products first. We build our customers’ trust by adhering to the strictest standards and continually optimizing our processes.

To guarantee our standards, our quality management system, introduced in 2014, has been recertified by Bureau Veritas in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485.
