Schellens opens new factory in Helmond 

In July 2009, weaving specialist Léo Schellens b.v. has opened a new production facility (located on the Speltdijk, Industrieterrein BZOB,) in Helmond (The Netherlands).  

This green-field factory has replaced the old facility in the centre of Eindhoven. Schellens has occupied the plant on the Vestdijk in Eindhoven ever since 1900.  

The new factory is part of an investment plan that will safeguard the future of Schellens' weaving activities. The new production facility is equipped with the most advanced technology available and focuses on sustainable production.  

These attributes will allow Schellens to service its markets more effectively and develop and produce products faster and more efficiently. The new facility in Helmond also offers opportunities for future expansion.  

The interior fabric weaving, dying and finishing activities are operational in Helmond since July 2009.  
Schellens develops and produces velours interior fabrics for international markets.  

The company?s customers include furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, specialised retailers and designers. Schellens develops and produces products and collections for these customers.  

Schellens' interior fabrics are made from high-quality, natural yarns like Mohair, wool and silk.
