Zwartz is the leading textile producer in the Netherlands, combining 190 years of expertise with innovation to ensure high-quality natural textile production and reliability.
Since 1835 the Zwartz family have been producing high quality technical and decorative textiles for various sectors across the globe. Having survived the turbulent developments in the European textile industry, Zwartz is one of the oldest remaining textile producers in The Netherlands.
Zwartz has been an integral part of Oldenzaal since its founding in 1835, making it the oldest company in the region. Currently led by Roderik Zwartz, the sixth generation of the family, the company remains a vital piece of Oldenzaal’s industrial heritage. In 1927, Zwartz expanded by acquiring 600m², while the current manufacturing facility is over 15.000m². The values of reliability and innovation ensure high-quality end products.
Zwartz’s history is defined by pivotal choices that ensured its survival in a changing industry. In 1860, the company shifted to Jute weaving, focusing on specialized, high-quality fabrics rather than mass-produced sacks, setting it apart from competitors. Later, Zwartz stayed committed to natural fibres like Jute and linen, resisting the shift to synthetics, which positioned it as a leader in sustainability. Finally, by keeping production in the Netherlands, Zwartz reinforced its reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation.
Over the past 190 years, Zwartz has navigated countless changes and challenges. From economic downturns to rapid technological advancements and shifting markets, we have consistently shown resilience by staying committed to innovation. By focusing on progress and sustainable solutions, we have adapted and strengthened over time. This flexibility and ability to embrace new developments keep us a leading force in the textile industry today.
Zwartz has always specialized in weaving Jute and other natural fabrics. Even when synthetic materials became popular, Zwartz stayed true to natural textiles, a decision that has paid off as the demand for sustainable materials has grown. Today, Zwartz continues to offer Eco-friendly solutions, drawing on its long-standing expertise in natural fibres.
