Bekintex.


Bekintex is a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary

A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock.

Notes:
In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners.
 of the Bekaert Group, which is the largest independent manufacturer of steel wire and wire-related products in the world.

Bekaert has established its multinational position by providing the most extensive range of wire products on the market today. Its consolidated, joint and associated companies operate 55 manufacturing facilities in 18 countries. The Bekaert Group maintains its own sales organization with 35 offices throughout the world.

Bekintex plays a world-class role in the antistatic Eliminating or reducing static electricity. See static electricity, antistatic bag, antistatic device, antistatic liquid and antistatic wristband. , electroconductive and high-temperature markets. It founded its reputation on its commitment to meeting market needs by continuously searching for textile solutions to problems of electrical conductivity or high-temperature resistance under mechanical load.

Bekintex uses metal fibers in a broad range of textile applications, such as static-reducing and/or electroconductive textiles, heat-resistant knitted, woven or braided braid·ed  
adj.
1.
a. Produced by or as if by braiding.

b. Having braids.

2. Decorated with braid.

3.
 separation cloth for electrical and thermal insulation The term thermal insulation can refer to materials used to reduce the rate of heat transfer, or the methods and processes used to reduce heat transfer.

Heat is transferred from one material to another by conduction, convection and/or radiation.
 and as shielding material.

Behind the most diverse applications are the skills and talents of the engineers and technicians of Bekintex, who are dedicated to the search for and development of new processes and products. This team of enthusiastic and creative people is at your disposal to investigate particular problems and to work out appropriate solutions. They work particularly with the unique characteristics of metal fibers.

BEKINOX FIBERS

Discomfort and disturbances caused by the discharge of static electricity in textile products can be prevented by incorporating Bekinox. These very fine electrically conductive conductive

Bekinox fibers in floorcoverings provide comfort and protect electronic apparatus against defects caused by electrostatic discharge (hardware, testing) Electrostatic Discharge - (ESD) One kind of test that hardware usually has to pass to prove it is suitable for sale and use. The hardware must still work after is has been subjected to some level of electrostatic discharge. .

BEKITHERM PRODUCTS

Bekitherm products are used, often as separation cloth, in production processes where resistance to both high temperatures and mechanical loads is required.

The Bekitherm products are knitted, woven or needlepunched fabrics in 100% metal fibers or blends of metal fibers and natural or man-made fibers.

In the production of complex glass forms (car windows, bottles, TV tubes) and stainless steel stainless steel: see steel.
stainless steel

Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat.
 cooking pans, Bekitherm fabrics are used as separation cloth between the glass or the metal and the mold. It provides a cushion and prevents optic defects.

THE QUALITY IS WOVEN IN

Total Quality Management (TQM (Total Quality Management) An organizational undertaking to improve the quality of manufacturing and service. It focuses on obtaining continuous feedback for making improvements and refining existing processes over the long term. See ISO 9000. ) is the cornerstone of our business philosophy and we refuse to deliver second-rate products.

Add to this people who really listen, people whose steady skill reflects loyalty to their customers and fairness to their suppliers. Our personnel are motivated by one single objective: Customer Delight. Thus no other company is better positioned than we are to meet the worldwide challenges of electroconductivity and durable, mechanically-stressed, high-temperature environments.
