MEANS OF PRODUCTION

Our vertical integration allows us to have a complete, controlled and proven know-how.

From design to packaging, we master all the steps of the manufacturing process.

Yarn warping
 
Warping consists in preparing the yarn that will be used to produce the bands on the looms. During the warping process, the raw material (yarn) is positioned on a beam so that it can be used on our various production machines (weaving looms, knitting looms). The warping workshop is composed of 4 machines:
 
  • 1 for elastane,
  • 1 for monofilaments,
  • 2 for rigid yarns.
 
Thanks to our integrated warping workshop, Fontanille Scop can guarantee reliability and reactivity in the processing of your orders.

Bobbin Lace workshop
 
We have 60 bobbin looms and an ancestral know-how in these production techniques. 
 
Bobbin lace production has made the reputation of Fontanille for decades, it is the oldest company's activity for over 160 years. The bobbin lace workshop has looms that work with the jacquard technique: perforated cards that allow the selection and movement of the bobbins.
 
These century-old looms produce between 2 and 3 meters per hour. These laces, which are very elaborate and refined, are mainly used by major luxury lingerie designers.
