Georg Gottlieb Langheinrich founded a weaving mill in Schlitz in 1832 that quickly developed into a textile business with an excellent reputation. Since then product engineering and production process have constantly been optimized to conform the changing market requirements. In doing so Langheinrich has kept its position as a trailblazer and market leader particularly with regard to cutting-edge technologies. Langheinrich has established itself as one of the biggest weaving mills in Germany and is operating worldwide.

The complete production process as well as logistics, design, packing and despatch are taken care of by Langheinrich in-house. Only high quality indanthrene dyed yarns (cotton, linen and polyester) that provide an excellent colour fastness are being bought in addition.
Production is carried out on 84 looms, 64 of them Jacquard of the latest kind.
Linen up to 2, 80 widths can be produced on those looms. Manufacturing technologies at the highest stage, strictly adhered quality specifications, accredited eco-audit and constant quality control are guarantors for premium products. Highlight of the production: individual logos and labels can be woven into all products. The general manager of Langheinrich, Mr. Burkhard Oel describes the advantage: “With this procedure we are able to provide our customers with their own linen collection”.
