German Quality, Witness Extraordinary
The machine engineering company was founded in 1884 by August Monforts. In the year of founding, the company has 52 employees at the works in Mönchengladbach, Germany. The first order was for a “napping machine for textile fabrics with five rollers”, but in 1891 Monforts then developed the first 24-roller napping machine which led to a significant improvement in the napping process. Only nine years after its founding, Monforts received the highest accolades at the World Fair in Chicago for the models exhibited there.
From 1986 until 2006, Clemens A. Monforts von Hobe in the fourth generation as owner headed the Monforts company and in particular guided A. Monforts Textilmaschinen to its position of world market leader in its market segment. In 2012, CHTC FONG’S INT Group took over Monforts which both had established a joint venture in 1998.
Monforts produces continuous dyeing ranges and ranges for the finishing and coating of woven and knitted fabrics as well as technical textiles. Today Monforts has around 100 employees in the company's headquarter in Mönchengladbach. This is where the competence centres for Design Engineering, Machine Development, Spare Parts Service, Teleservice, Shipping, Accounting and Sales are located. In their production site Montex machine factory in St. Stefan/Austria - a branch of A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG - all Monforts dyeing and shrinkage ranges (sanfor ranges) and special machines in the stenter sector have been manufactured there for more than 40 years.
The name Monforts has been synonymous with cutting-edge technology in finishing machine engineering for more than 140 years. This is reflected not only in innumerable patents registered by Monforts over the course of the decades, but also in the faith of customers and the excellent reputation enjoing on the world market. Monforts offers modern and future-oriented range configurations and technology and gives advice to find perfectly coordinated solutions from a single source for economical and environmentally friendly production.
