together
In 1992, Joan proposed that I join a business project in which we would design, manufacture, and sell fashion fabrics. This is how Marina Textil was born.
We began our journey with a few looms, working for other local companies and offering our weaving services. In 1996, we launched our first fashion collection for men’s shirting.
In that same year, Marina Textil diversified its focus and began exploring the field of fire-resistant fabrics, also known as flame-retardant fabrics. One of our first launches was MARLAN®, a flame-resistant fabric designed to protect against molten metal splashes. This product marked the beginning of our specialization in flame-retardant fabrics.
By 2007, 85% of our production was already focused on flame-retardant fabrics. This evolution not only reflected our adaptability to the market but also completely redesigned our business model and corporate strategy. Constant evolution has become a fundamental value at Marina Textil, as evidenced by the growth of our industrial capabilities, including the incorporation of a lamination plant and the systematic increase of our loom capacity.
Recently, Marina Textil has entered new sectors where flame-retardant fabrics are also used, such as fire protection, extreme temperatures, and racing drivers’ protective gear, through its subsidiaries Texfire and Marina Racewear.
The company’s evolution has led us to implement in-house laboratories focused on research and quality control. These laboratories allow us to test the resistance, durability, and flame-retardant properties of all fibers available on the market, as well as analyze all the fabrics we manufacture, ensuring quality compliance for each batch delivered to more than 70 countries worldwide.
With a constant focus on research and development, and a firm commitment to quality, rigor, and honesty in our relationships with customers and suppliers, Marina Textil remains dedicated to its mission of protecting people through the manufacture of technical fabrics with innovative fibers. The R&D team works in collaboration with universities and research centers to stay abreast of technological and material innovations, continuously improving and innovating our fabrics.
In 2020, we began a sustainability program spanning material selection, production processes and circular-textile projects. Each initiative is evaluated on its own documented scope and results.
Today, at Marina Textil, we operate with a team of over 90 people, committed and passionate about their work. We are proud of our growth and the trust our customers place in our team, being recognized for our reliability and business philosophy. Thanks to our customers’ trust, we continue to work with the same enthusiasm and commitment as in our early days, ensuring the protection of those who wear garments made from our fabrics.
Thank you for your trust, we will continue to work as we have until now.

Technical fabric production process
We manufacture all of our fabrics at our facilities located in Barberá del Vallès. That is where the weaving machine depot and raw material and finished product warehouses, quality laboratory and new developments and research laboratory can be found, as well as the company commercial and administrative offices.
Controlling the whole process of each technical fabric production cycle
is the best quality guarantee that we can offer our clients.
Our traceability is so precise that it lets us know the lot of the fiber for each meter of fabric
Our technical fabric production plant has modern weaving machines equipped with the latest weaving equipment and a production capacity of more than 2 million meters per year. This technology provides us with maximum versatility in production, fast reaction capacity and competitive timings.
The secret to achieving optimal stock volumes is to maintain a close relationship between sales and production.
Attention to detail is the most important aspect in order to meet the quality levels that we demand from all our fabrics
Our UNE-EN ISO 9001 certification demonstrates that we take our job very seriously, because our clients’ satisfaction and protection depend on it.
European certification that guarantees the absence of harmful substances in the products utilized. Marina Textil manufactures its products with respect for the provisions established by OEKO-TEX referring to production, human and waste ecology.
We at Marina Textil have adapted our logistical, traceability and quality systems in order to comply with the conditions required by Standard UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 in the area of design, manufacture and commercialization of technical fabrics so we can guarantee a high level of product quality.
sustainability
Marina has always been deeply connected to environmental responsibility. In recent years, we’ve made various changes in how we produce, operate, and design our products to make them more sustainable.
pre consumer recycling
By recycling materials left over from production, we’ve created a new line of fabrics made with a percentage of recycled content, all while maintaining the technical qualities needed to keep people safe. This approach helps us reduce waste and offer sustainable options without compromising on protection.
post consumer recycling
Through our CIRTECHTEX project, we’re bringing a circular economy approach to the flame-resistant fabrics. This project allows us to recycle used materials into high-quality fabrics for personal protective equipment (PPE), with a minimum of 80% recycled content. By reusing post-consumer materials, we’re able to reduce waste and meet the unique challenges of creating sustainable solutions in the PPE sector—where recycling technical fabrics is a challenge.
All of our technical fabrics are tested and certified by official external collaborating laboratories
We work with official laboratories accredited by the National Accreditation Agency (ENAC, per abbr. in Spanish), with whom we perform the relevant tests to obtain the technical reports for the technical fabrics we manufacture and garment certificates in accordance with European and American standards.
