INNOVATION, DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF NARROW FABRICS

Ribbons, straps, braids, mesh, rigid or elastic

TRADITION & INNOVATION

Established since 1905 in the village of Saint-Just-Malmont (Haute-Loire – FRANCE), Satab has, over the years, become a benchmark in the narrow fabric market. We create, weave, braid and knit ribbons, straps, cords… rigid or elastic in the very heart of the historic cradle of the ribbon-making tradition:  Saint-Etienne, in east-central France.

By combining high-tech manufacturing facilities with modern automatic looms and the world’s largest active fleet of wooden “shuttle looms” – which has seen us awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label – Satab is constantly innovating.
