Company history

PEGAS NONWOVENS s.r.o. was established in 1990 as a totally new, exclusively Czech private company. The production of non-woven textiles was its sphere of activity practically from the very beginning and it still is to the present day.
In 2002 the Company's product sortiment was extended by the production of bi-component nonwoven fabric on the basis of polypropylene and polyethylene.
Since its establishment, the company has gone through major development where the originally first established plant in Buèovice was supplemented by a second production plant in Pøímìtice (Znojmo) and at the same time the company's management headquater premises were built near the Primetice, Znojmo plant. 

The Company's sales and administration divisions and executive senior management are seated in the Znojmo headquarters. Both plants are used as production units controlled from the Company's headquarters.

Today the total production capacity of the Company is approx. 70 thousand tons of non-woven fabric per annum.

PEGAS NONWOVENS s.r.o. is an active member of EDANA, European association of non-woven fabric manufacturers.
