The company Texiplast, a.s. was established in 1938 as one of the LKZ plants directed towards the processing of flax and hemp.
In 1978 the production program was restructured and was transferred from the processing of natural materials to the processing of plastics and the production of woven textiles based on polypropylene. The main activity was the production of base fabrics for carpets and the production of polypropylene strips and cords for the agricultural sector.
In 1996 the enterprise was privatised and transformed to the joint-stock company. Owing to the dramatic decline in the production of carpets in the Slovak Republic, the production profile gradually changed to the production of a new assortment - woven PP textiles for technical applications.
In 1998 the company Texiplast, a.s. became part of the KORD Group, whose main company is Kordárna, in Velká nad Veličkou in the Czech Republic.
By gradually absorbing the high-value know-how of production, development, trade and control from the parent company, the production profile, which was originally oriented towards the production of sophisticated products, was changed to woven geotextiles based on polypropylene which has become the main program of the company Texiplast, a.s. up to today.
In 2004 the implementation of the wide-ranging development program began in Texiplast, a.s. and was directed towards the expansion of the production program for geosynthetics not only based on polypropylene, but also polyester for the increase of quality, productivity and production capacity of both types of geotextiles. The level of these investments exceeded SKK 200 million.
There was wide reconstruction of the heating system, gas and electricity distribution, and reconstruction of the production hall to house the new technology. The purchase of new weaving machines was important for the significant increase in the quality of geotextiles and the decrease of production costs.
