In the following we would like to introduce our company.

Our product portfolio - Solutions for the textile world

We offer technologies for the entire textile production chain to our customers. Our products are used as textile auxiliaries for pretreating, dyeing, finishing as well as textile prints. The textile production chain incorporates 4 different fields:

• Sizing – smooth production processes

  Sizing systems by RUDOLF enable a smooth production in the mills. Our solutions guarantee the productivity of mills as well as textile quality.




Water and soil-repellent functional finish with BIONIC-FINISH®

• Pretreatment – for a gleaming white

  Reproducible cleanliness, optimum absorptive properties and gleaming white are the bases that have to be ensured by pretreatment to run flawless finishing processes, such as dyeing. Economically and ecologically optimised auxiliaries and processes by RUDOLF help to surely achieve this goal.

• Dyeing – colours that will never fade

  Dyeings of captivating brilliance, levelness and highest fastness properties are obtained with state-of-the-art dyeing auxiliaries and time-optimised processes by RUDOLF.

• Finishing – functional additional value

  Finishing confers functional additional value to textiles. For example ecologically optimised water-repellent properties with BIONIC-FINISH® ECO for functional jackets, moisture-absorbing softness for towels with RUCOFIN® or antimicrobial properties for medical textiles with SILVERPLUS®. With these and many other technologies RUDOLF offers intelligent solutions to many every-day problems.
