Welcome to the "cyber home" of TEXIII Weaving !

          We would like to thank you for your interest, as you may or may not know, we are Canada’s only INDEPENDENT KNITTER and WEAVER of reinforcements for the Composites Industry.

HISTORY

          TEX III’s fiber glass weaving history goes back to the 1960s, when a company in the Beauce Region of Québec was weaving woven roving on two old Mackie looms. In 1973 these looms were purchased by a start-up Company in Drummondville, Québec. Our president, H.W. Borntraeger III, left the Fiber Glass Division of PPG Industries in 1976 to join this Company as a partner. In 1978, Borntraeger left the Company to pursue a career on the chemical side of the Composites Industry. In late 2000, after having started and sold another fiber glass weaving company (Armtex), Borntraeger acquired the weaving division of Progress Plastics & Compounds, a major manufacturer and distributor in the Canadian Composites Industry. Thus, the name TEX III represents his third involvement in the fiber glass textile industry.

LOCATION

          Our Knitting and Weaving plant, located in Drummondville, Québec, Canada, is within 2 miles of major north-south and east-west highways of the interstate highway system. It is less than 75 miles from the US-Canada border and less than 50 miles from the port of Montreal, the major eastern Canada all-weather container port.

COMPATIBILITY

          Because TEX III purchases raw materials from World Scale fiber glass manufacturers in North America and abroad, we have access to the finest input rovings and mats, in weights, diameters and sizes that, when combined with various binders and sizing systems, allows us to produce an almost unlimited range of fabrics compatible with almost any resin system.

EQUIPMENT

          We produce our woven and non-woven products on specialized textile equipment from the best European manufacturers. This equipment can produce products ranging from light weight woven rovings to heavy weight combination fabrics in knitted and/or woven widths from 2" to 120". Our high-speed, computerized, off-machine slitting capabilities allow us to produce small quantities of non-standard widths in all our non-woven products.

VERSATILITY

          Because of our size, skill, experience, and flexibility, we can offer our customers products and services not available from World Scale manufacturers.

APPLICATIONS

          The products we produce are used in a wide variety of applications in the transportation, construction, anti-corrosion and marine industries as well as specialty industries.

          We serve the Composites Industry in the Americas through full-line, full-service distributors and would welcome your inquiries concerning our products and distribution.  Please fill out our online request for information form or contact us for any details. Thank You.
