Dyeing – Finishing, Fairs

Textilveredlung DRECHSEL GmbH, one of the leading contract finishers and coaters in Germany for several decades, invests in a state-of-the-art new coating line. DRECHSEL was founded in 1950 at its current location in Selb, Upper Franconia, Germany, as dyehouse GEIPEL und DRECHSEL and initially dealt with the dyeing of yarns as well as the re-dyeing of used clothing.
