Spinning

About

In the worlds most exclusive beds, you’ll find layers of hand-layered curled and resilient horsehair. To make the hair curly and durable, ENKEV spins the fibres into ropes which are then steamed to fix the curls. Either the ropes are sold as a product, or they serve as the basic material for the subsequent treatment processes in our facilities.

The basis of all needled and rubberised natural fibres are the curled coir and animal hair fibres. After sorting, washing and drying, the fibres are curled by spinning. The curls are then fixed by prolonged steaming. This is the basic material for the subsequent treatment processes.

As China is the leading global supplier of animal hair, ENKEV has its own spinning mill in this country. Together with our spinning mill in Volendam, ENKEV is now the largest producer of spun hair in the world.
