Lantor to Textor: a name change that points to new frontiers

In April 2001 Lantor Australia changed its name to Textor following a management buyout in December 2000.

Founded in 1959 as a subsidiary of Lantor International, the company remained a traditional textile company until the early 1980's when it moved into production of high performance fabrics.
Since then we have been producing a startling array of non-woven textiles for products with healthcare, automotive, agribusiness, building, industrial and domestic applications.

But with the name change comes a determination to reach higher levels of innovation and capability in non-woven textile technologies.

Supported by a new injection of capital, installation of a new generation of equipment, broadening of the product range and a revitalisation of its systems and capabilities Textor is set to double in size within the next two years.

The transformation means that Textor can offer local and international customers ever more effective textile technologies to address their specific needs.
