The Schmitz-Werke in Emsdetten is one of the leading textile companies in Europe with well-known brands, such as markilux, swela and drapilux.

This market and innovation leadership was further expanded by the launch of the new product generation, notably drapilux air, with its patented efficacy.

Carl-Hinderich Schmitz Senior Director of the Schmitz-Werke
“Our company has been weaving decorative fabrics since 1929. The raw material changed at increasingly shorter intervals:
cotton, spun rayon, then cotton again, polyester, acrylic, polyester (Trevira CS). After the war the easy-care fabrics became more popular. Then environmentally friendly flame-retardant fabrics arrived.
But now there has been a quantum leap, which might almost be considered science fiction – that’s how it seemed to me – because there has never been anything like it.

It’s unbelievable but it’s undeniably effective:
Cigarette odours at home or in a hotel, kitchen smells which you don’t want in your living room, the aftermath of parties, suddenly nothing is a problem anymore:
A few decorative curtains made from drapilux air get rid of unpleasant odours. If I hadn’t been shown that it works I wouldn’t have believed it."
