Our Journey
DesleeMattex, founded in 1962 and formerly known as Mattex, entered into a joint venture with Belgium-based Deslee Clama in 2010, acquiring a 40% share. Deslee Clama operates globally with facilities in Romania, the U.S., Indonesia, Brazil, and sales offices in Spain, Singapore, and India.
This partnership allows DesleeMattex to offer locally produced, high-quality mattress fabrics in Africa, using advanced air jet looms, circular knitting equipment, and a finishing line. The company prioritizes lean manufacturing and customer satisfaction.
In 2016, Deslee Clama merged with Bekaert Textiles, creating Bekaert Deslee, a global leader in mattress fabrics with 19 factories worldwide.
DesleeMattex delivers technologically advanced, stylish fabrics inspired by global décor trends. Its range includes everything from affordable, lightweight fabrics to luxurious options for premium mattresses, along with matching upholstery fabrics for borders. Customers can customize designs to enhance their brand presence in the retail market. Innovation and design are tailored to local needs, supported by global trends through the group’s International Development Centre in Belgium.
