TEXTILE Engineering & Process Development


CETI provides textile engineering services supporting industrial players in the analysis, optimisation and implementation of textile products, materials and processes.

Our engineering activities combine technical expertise, industrial insight and a strong understanding of textile technologies to support informed decisions, robust developments and efficient industrial deployment.

As an independent industrial research centre, CETI leverages the knowledge gained through its R&D projects and technological platforms to deliver engineering studies and technical support, whether or not experimental trials are required.

Industrial challenges we address


  • Technical limitations affecting product performance or process efficiency

  • Industrial constraints impacting process robustness, quality or cost

  • Uncertainty related to equipment selection, implantation or process configuration

  • Difficulty in optimising existing products or production tools

  • Lack of internal resources to structure technical and industrial decisions

  • Risk of implementing solutions not aligned with industrial or market realities

Textile engineering projects often require a deep technical understanding combined with a pragmatic industrial approach. CETI supports companies facing challenges such as:

CETI’s engineering services are distinguished by:

This positioning ensures that engineering recommendations are realistic, technically sound and aligned with industrial realities.

Our approach –
From analysis to implementation support

CETI applies a structured and pragmatic engineering approach:


  1. Technical and industrial context analysis

  2. Assessment of options, constraints and opportunities

  3. Engineering studies and technical recommendations

  4. Support for implementation or further development phases

CETI’s engineering activities are supported by its technological platforms, R&D experience and recognised expertise across the textile value chain.

These resources ensure that engineering activities are always grounded in a strong understanding of textile technologies and industrial practices.
