Premium sewing threads for technical textiles
Application
In the case of technical textiles, it is not only their visual appeal that counts but above all their function. When worn as protective clothing or processed into a tent, textile products are often exposed to extreme conditions such as heat, moisture or high tensile forces. Like the fabrics, the sewing threads used here must also be extremely robust and guarantee safety.
High-tech threads for high performance and safety
When textiles take on a safety-relevant task, it is important that they not only meet the legal requirements, specifications and guidelines but that they are also of reliable quality. This naturally also applies to all yarns and threads used in such tasks. With our product portfolio we deliver solutions for any application, however complex, and guarantee our customers the best possible product quality in compliance with all specifications.
Medical Protective Clothing
People who work in the medical sector require special clothing to protect others and themselves from potential transmittable diseases, such as viruses. These textiles must have special characteristics to fulfil the highest requirements when dealing with patients in hospitals, etc.

Conductive textiles
The requirements placed on the materials are as diverse as the fields of application for conductive textiles. While they provide important vital data for monitoring a person’s health via direct contact with the skin in the medical field, for example, Smart Yarns can ensure the optimal temperature when used as heating or cooling elements in work clothes or cars. Not only can conductive yarns be embroidered or sewn – woven together they are also suitable for flat applications.

Special threads and yarns for technical textiles
With regard to textiles that perform safety-relevant tasks, it is essential that they meet the legal requirements, specifications and guidelines in addition to reliable quality. Of course, this also applies to all sewing yarns and sewing threads that are used for this purpose. AMANN's broad product portfolio of technical sewing threads and embroidery threads offers solutions for every application, no matter how complex, and guarantees customers the best possible product quality while complying with all specifications.
Sewing threads for protective clothing & outdoor textiles
AMANN offers special sewing threads for the processing of protective clothing, e.g. sewing threads for fire and heat protection (fire brigade), sewing threads for flame protection (blast furnaces and smelters), sewing threads for racing or sewing threads for bullet-proof vests, as used by the police. AMANN also offers special sewing threads for outdoor textiles, e.g. sewing threads for sails, sewing threads for tents, sewing threads for awnings, sewing threads for boat covers or sewing threads for tarpaulins.
Special yarns for lifting and restraint systems & composites
Lifting and restraint systems are essential for safe transport. AMANN offers sewing threads, which are specially manufactured for use with lifting and retaining belts and can withstand heavy loads. Composites, such as carbon and glass fibre fabrics, are again groundbreaking for the mobility and energy supply of tomorrow. For this field of application AMANN features products, which are equipped with a special finish developed for composites.
Smart yarns for smart textiles & filters
Smart Yarns are intelligent sewing and embroidery threads with special functions. In the field of conductivity, they can be used in medicine, for example, to provide information about a patient's vital data. Being processed as a heating or cooling element in work clothing or automobiles, they can in turn ensure the optimum temperature. Whether for embroidery, sewing or textiles surfaces - AMANN's smart yarns for smart textiles are guaranteed to be the right choice. Moreover, AMANN also offers special yarns for filtration, e.g. for sewing threads for solid/liquid separation, sewing threads for wet filtration or sewing threads for dedusting.
