French Technical Fabrics Land in California
Bel Tech, the technical and active-apparel fabrics division of French mill Bel Maille Creations, has a new home on the West Coast.
Los Angeles–based JM International Group, which represents Bel Maille, is now also representing Bel Tech, whose products include fabrics for performance apparel, medical and automotive applications. Featuring fabrications such as double-face knits, pique, interlock, stretch and mesh, the collection includes smart fabrics, which provide heat and moisture management, as well as anti-bacterial, anti-static, water-repellent and flame-retardant properties. There are breathable bamboo rayon knits for base layers and underwear, as well as waterproof 1x1 rib knits and interlock fabrics for outdoor apparel. The fabrics are offered in custom pieced-dyed colors, and Bel Tech’s in-house quality-control department works with QC organizations to ensure fabrics meet required standards and specifications.
Founded in 1956 by the Bel family, Bel Maille Creations has been owned and operated by Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Ziegler since 2009.
