Pre-production & Industrial Validation
CETI supports industrial players in the pre-production phase, enabling the transition from validated prototypes to robust, reproducible and industrial-ready textile products.
Our pre-production services combine pre-industrial validation, small-volume manufacturing and industrial risk mitigation to support efficient and secure market deployment.
As an independent industrial research centre, CETI leverages pre-industrial platforms, applied engineering expertise and industrial insight to support both emerging companies and established industrial players.
Industrial challenges we address
Robustness and reproducibility of processes prior to full-scale production
Industrial scalability of validated prototypes and pilot developments
Technical and operational risks associated with equipment and process adjustments
Regulatory and quality compliance under pre-industrial conditions
Environmental and economic performance of processes at pre-production scale
Feasibility of small-volume or complex productions within industrial constraints
Pre-production is a critical phase where technical, operational and economic risks must be controlled. CETI supports organisations facing challenges such as:
Pre-production – What CETI delivers
CETI delivers pre-production services covering technical validation, small-volume manufacturing and industrial preparation prior to full-scale production.
Pre-industrial trials replicating industrial production conditions
Small-volume manufacturing to support
start-ups, SMEs
or
early market deployment
Small and complex production runs
for
large industrial players
(e.g. specific nonwovens, customised products, high value-added materials)
Processing of
complex material streams, including
challenging textile
or polymer waste
through
adapted recycling routes
Validation of
process
robustness, stability
and
reproducibility
Pre-production studies
supporting
industrial investment
or
capacity decisions
CETI added value
Access to pre-industrial textile platforms bridging pilot and industrial scales
Ability to manufacture small volumes under controlled and reproducible conditions
Strong expertise in complex, customised and high value-added textile productions
Proven experience in recycling and processing challenging material streams
Ability to integrate technical, industrial, market and regulatory constraints
Independent, neutral and confidential positioning
CETI’s pre-production services are distinguished by:
This positioning enables CETI to support both innovative start-ups and established industrial groups in securing their production strategies.
Our approach –
From validated prototype
to industrial readiness
CETI applies a structured and pragmatic pre-production approach:
Pre-production framing and industrial objectives definition
Pre-industrial trials and small-volume manufacturing
Robustness, reproducibility and performance validation
Industrial readiness assessment and recommendations
CETI’s pre-production activities rely on dedicated technological platforms and recognised expertise across the textile value chain.
These resources enable CETI to secure industrial deployment while maintaining flexibility for complex or limited-volume productions.
