    In the below video, Picanol introduces you to their customer Rafitec from Brazil. For the last 30 years, Rafitec has been the South American leader in the packaging market, and it currently employs 3,000 people. Ever since the company was founded, it has always been driven to develop new applications and nowadays Rafitec is a major producer of a wide variety of fabrics for packaging applications mainly based on tape yarns.

    In 2021, Rafitec initiated a program aimed at seeking a more flexible and future-proof alternative for the replacement of their weaving machines. As part of this program, they installed 16 Picanol OptiMax-i weaving machines. The results proved to be excellent. Rafitec embraced our technology and machines because they not only met but exceeded its expectations, with improved efficiency, flexibility for different technical fabrics and excellent usability.

    Boosted by this success, Rafitec decided to completely switch to rapier technology and purchased another 44 OptiMax-i Connect weaving machines from Picanol in 2024. This decision reinforced the Brazilian company’s firm commitment to innovation and quality.

    Picanol is really proud to be “Growing Together” by playing such an important role in terms of helping to shape the future of Rafitec and consolidating its leading position in the production of synthetic fabrics and packaging solutions in South America.
