Many people have it, but most don’t realise it.

The small, red, textile strip on the hoover nozzles is a textile that is manufactured in our halls. So most people will probably have a small piece of Spandau velour hidden somewhere in their home. Why don’t you take a look now?

Running with us through the world of textiles

Another participation in the Heinrich-Kleist-Oberschule vocational marathon in Lichtenstein is behind us. We have been taking part in this important event for many years, as we did last Friday. This year, we once again had the opportunity to talk to pupils in years 8, 9 and 10 and inform them about the wide range of […]

A look behind the scenes at Spandauer Velours

Last Wednesday, we opened our doors for the 98th Museum Coffee Klatch and gave our visitors an exciting insight into our history and production. Our roots go back to the 1980s. This was when the planning, construction of the building and installation of the machines began. Our company was founded in Berlin-Spandau at that time […]

Review of the insight

Once again this year, we took part in the “SCHAU REIN! – Open Company Week” campaign. Over the course of two days, we offered insights into apprenticeships in maintenance, textiles and logistics. On Tuesday, our trainer Mirko accompanied the young people through the company and gave them an insight into the areas of electronics, mechanics […]

Trade fair review: Education & Career Zwickau

On 3 and 4 February 2024, we were represented at the Bildung & Beruf trade fair in Zwickau’s Stadthalle.

“Everywhere on the tops of the fir trees I saw golden lights twinkling…” after Theodor Storm

It’s the moments spent together with your loved ones that make the Christmas season so wonderful. Maintaining the tried and tested, daring to try something new – we are grateful for a successful 2023 and look forward to the new year with excitement and anticipation. The entire Spandauer Velours team wishes you a peaceful Christmas […]

Spandauer Velours “on tour”

On Tuesday, we were proud to take part in “Komm auf Tour” in Zwickau! Our trainer René and apprentice Jennifer acted as tour guides for the International Secondary School Neukirchen, the Sachsenring Secondary School Hohenstein-Ernstthal, the Evangelical Secondary School Gersdorf and the school “Am Sachsenring” throughout the day. We hope that we were able to […]

Powerful in the river

Our annual electricity consumption amounts to around 3,000,000 kWh, which is generated from hydropower. This corresponds to the consumption of around 750 households of four people each. Converted to Lichtenstein, 27.76% of the population could be supplied with electricity. In addition to electricity from hydropower, around 10% of our electricity consumption is also produced by […]

Attention young talents! Your springboard to your dream career.

Mirko

Before Mirko came to Spandauer, he worked for nine years in maintenance at Palla Creativ in St. Egidien. Until the end of 2015, he completed a retraining course to become a mechatronics technician and joined us in 2016 through a contact with our managing director. Since then, he has strengthened our in-house maintenance department and […]

Quite lifted

For optimal running performance of our weaving machines, we need a relative humidity of at least 65 %. To ensure this, an air humidification system is integrated into our company building, which processes up to 350,000 m3 of air per hour accordingly. With this volume, 85 hot air balloons could be filled. Why all the […]

Spandauer Velours and Beorol: A success story of partnership and innovation

We have established a long-standing and successful partnership with Beorol, one of our valued partners and a major supplier of painting supplies and materials from Serbia. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 Recently, we had the honour to present our dedicated cooperation and the services of Spandauer Velours at an event in Belgrade. Representing our company, Rainer Ott, our sales […]

Spandauer Velours on tour

We produce not only technical textiles, but also upholstery and contract fabrics. In this area, we would like to introduce you today to a particularly beautiful and historic example from our company. The Pascha pattern, which adorned the Porsche models in the 70s and 80s, is a real eye-catcher. Especially the Porsche 911 Targa SC […]

We make metres

Our velour fabrics can be produced on a total of 46 weaving machines. Maintained and serviced by our in-house maintenance department, our team ensures that everything always runs like clockwork.

Jasmin

Jasmin has been with us since 2012. Previously, she had started an apprenticeship as a product tester, but became aware of Spandauer Velours through a newspaper article and finally started her apprenticeship as a machine and plant operator in the field of textile technology with us. In the meantime, she has been working as a […]

Stuffed dog missing

Who doesn’t know it, as a child we were in the greatest anxiety when our favourite cuddly toy, such as the stuffed dog, disappeared and could no longer be found. Who we miss now? New, open-minded and friendly colleagues who want to find their place in our team. We are always looking for skilled workers, […]

We wrap them all

Accordingly, material is needed for 1,600,000 running metres per year. Our annual yarn consumption amounts to approx. 2,000 tonnes of yarn, which would result in a length of approx. 26,000,000 km. With this length, the circumference of the earth could be wrapped 650 times.

The next generation moves up

We are proud and happy to be able to take on two of our apprentices from the finishing department as skilled workers! Congratulations to Jonas (right) and Marvin (left), who completed their 2-year apprenticeship as machine and plant operators in textile finishing at BSZ e.o. Plauen with very good results. A big thank you goes […]

Summer fresh surprise

This week, Mrs Hoppe from the Kampanile ice cream café rolled up to our company premises and put a smile on our faces with her ice cream van – many thanks for that. Our employees were able to sample the colourful selection of ice creams and enjoy the sunshine at the same time.

Strong team seeks strong support!

We are looking for the needle in the fabric pile!

Admittedly, finding a needle in a pile of fabric, especially in our large production halls, is probably almost impossible, but with the right colleagues there is definitely a chance of it. Needles and fabric always belong together in a certain way. Do you also want to be part of our colorful “(fabric)bunch”? Together with you […]

We have something new for you!

Our new careers page with a fresh design is now online and waiting to be discovered by you. In addition to all apprenticeships and job offers, you will also find some testimonials from our employees and a form for quick applications.

Strong team

With 110 employees, we are now a large #TeamSpandauer. We continue to grow and are grateful for every single person who pulls together with us. Just this year, we welcomed six new trainees and are always happy to welcome new talents.

The exceptional talent

Among our velours are outstanding top fabrics. The super microfibre 1327 is particularly multi-layered. With 1332 filaments per one thread, it holds the most filaments in our range. Due to the very high microfibre content, the velour is extremely absorbent and leads to very large reaches in application as well as a very high dirt […]

That was the third Spandauer Velours Kindergarten Cup

Last Wednesday, 24.05.2023, four kindergartens finally had the chance to compete against each other again at the 3rd Spandau Velours Kindergarten Cup. The kindergartens from Heinrichsort, Mülsen, Rödlitz and Lichtenstein thus had a fun, but also exciting day with lots of thrills at the sports field in Heinrichsort. The weather conditions were not particularly good: […]

Let’s go!

Next week it’s that time again: the Spandau Velours Kindergarten Cup will take place for the third time. To shorten the children’s wait for the event, we distributed the jerseys in the kindergartens last week with the support of Nils Dauer. The following four kindergartens will participate in this year’s Cup with one team each: […]

Do you want to be ensnared too?

We only give our best for our fabrics. They are woven, finished and packaged with a lot of dedication and sensitivity. All our love combined into one thread then results in our practical and beautiful velours. So we ensnare our yarn by all the rules of the art, or perhaps it has already wrapped us […]

Applicant training at the Lehngrund Oberschule Glauchau

On 6 April, we took part in an applicant training with 40 pupils from class 9 of the Lehngrund Oberschule Glauchau. The applicant training was the conclusion after two days of career orientation for the classes. In the two days before, the teachers worked with the pupils on the topic of job interviews and individual […]

Something new is created here

Together with our advertising agency MINDWORK and our employees, we recently had a photo shoot at our office. In addition to new image photos and pictures for the job advertisements, we also took some funny snapshots that we don’t want to keep from you – in keeping with the motto #TeamSpandauer.

We have participated

Last Tuesday we took part in the “Mit Mach Job Fair” at the Sachsenring secondary school in Hohenstein-Ernstthal. Around 240 pupils took part in the fair and visited the individual company stands equipped with a questionnaire. Representing Spandauer Velours, Maik, our weaving instructor, and Jennifer, trainee machine and plant operator for textile technology, were on […]

Spring makes everything new …

… and for us the time of job and training fairs begins, where we once again face the questions of pupils and perhaps also future trainees. Not only did we go to a career orientation fair last Friday, but also on Saturday. Maik, our trainer in the weaving mill, and Jasmin, our long-time weaving mill […]

Time we show ourselves

As a local company, we were once again at the career marathon of the Heinrich-von-Kleist-Oberschule Lichtenstein last Friday. The school’s internal career orientation took place for all pupils from the 7th grade onwards. Our personnel officer Kristyna Lamblova was on site with apprentice Georg and the two of them advised the pupils on our training […]

Apprenticeship seeks trainee

You don’t have an apprenticeship for 2023 yet and don’t know what the right job is for you? You can get a taste of the day-to-day work at Spandauer Velours with an internship (e.g. during the holidays) and see how our products are made, who your future team and trainers are and which apprenticeship is […]

Velours from Spandauer go on a journey

Our annual turnover is around 18 million euros. About 65% of this is generated by exports abroad, for example to the USA, China, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Egypt and EU countries.

Do you want to get up close and personal with us?

From cuddly soft with a high floor to scratchy and low floor height, you will find everything there is to offer in terms of haptic variety in our halls. One of the nice things about our work is that there is always something to feel – and that can lead to real feelings of happiness. […]

We use gas

Our annual consumption of natural gas is about 3,000,000 kWh, which would correspond to the consumption of about 150 single-family houses. To make us less dependent on natural gas as an energy source, we are currently investing in a liquid gas system. This will enable us to reduce our natural gas consumption by about 50 […]

Get close to us.

It’s that time again. The Open Business Week in Saxony will take place again from 13 to 18 March 2023. This year we are offering you two dates on 14 and 15 March. When you visit us, you can choose between a production tour for textile professions and a guided tour for electrotechnical professions. Pupils, […]

Roll out the red carpet…

Polypropylene – the king of tear and abrasion resistance – in the form of a cleaning plush for all areas of application where a lot of force has to be applied. When force is not enough for cleaning, our textile S 408 can also shine with a very high resistance to acids and alkalis. This […]

You hold the famous red thread in your hand?

Between all the different yarns, it’s easy to lose track. We’ll help you keep track so that you still have the red thread in your hand at the end. But first… follow the red thread into #TeamSpandauer and continue the 35-year success story of Spandauer Velours with us! We are looking forward to you and […]

1992 Move to Lichtenstein

A new journey began for us. We moved from the Spandau district of Berlin to Lichtenstein. In the same year, Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd President of the USA on 03 November, Denmark became European football champion and the digital mobile phone was invented in Sweden – it’s hard to imagine life today without […]

Birds of a feather flock together

Our paint rollers 1410 and 1411 are virtually siblings and await their paint application with the same characteristics. The only difference is the look and feel. Textile 1411 has a higher pile and is therefore more suitable for other wall structures than 1410.

You’re not going to lose your patience that easily?

But now the time has come? You’re bored with your current job, you’re no longer on the same wavelength as your colleagues and you’re at the end of your tether? Don’t hesitate, come to #TeamSpandauer, we’ll help you weave a new thread of patience – with a warm team, varied tasks and, by the way, […]

Merry Christmas

The result of searching for the secret of Christmas is not the glow you feel in finding something special and extraordinary. But what you will find is: These are the things you do all year through. We thank all our employees and customers for the pleasant cooperation and wish you a Merry Christmas and a […]

Plenty of space for rolling and smooth production

The production of high-quality velour fabrics with 110 employees and 46 weaving machines naturally requires corresponding space. For all this, we have a production area of approximately 17,000 square metres, which is equivalent to 2.38 football pitches.

We have something on the umbrella …

namely our Spandauer Velours logo! The noble umbrellas with black handle and grip are given to our employees as a small gift to get them through the rainy days as they are doing now. And if the sky is grey instead of blue, the blue umbrella spreads good humour and brings our #TeamSpandauer safely into […]

You’re hanging by a thread?

No problem, with us you have reached your goal and can let yourself fall. The good thing is that you’ll fall especially softly, onto lots of hard-wearing plush and high-quality velour fabrics. Our #TeamSpandauer also welcomes you with open arms and looks forward to active support in our departments. We look forward to meeting you […]

For high demands

The special composition of PES microfibre and abrasive cluster bristle makes our cleaning plush 1305 a special mop for the highest demands and cleaning performance.

30 June 1987 – what a historical day

30 June 1987 is not only our founding date, because many other well-known personalities have their special day together with us. Mike Tyson turned 21 on this day and Ralf Schuhmacher turned 12 on this day. And the two athletes Sebastian Vettel and Fabian Hambüchen were born in the same year that Spandauer Velours was […]

You’re putting the rope in your mouth right now?

Not every day is the same for us and each of our employees has a varied range of tasks. In the end, every step, no matter how small, leads straight to our common goal: to produce high-quality plush and velour fabrics and to ensure the satisfaction of our customers. You know how the thread runs, […]

Rope dancer wanted

Many yarns knotted together eventually become a rope. All our employees together are Spandauer Velours and each one of them with their job is important. Our processes work so well because they are so interwoven, just like a thick rope. Become a part of our strong rope and become a tightrope walker. We are looking […]

Finally back again!

Finally back again! On Saturday, 08 October 2022, after a break of two years, we were fortunately able to participate again in the training and job fair in the Sachsenlandhalle Glauchau. We were very pleased to be able to welcome the visitors face-to-face again and got into conversation with many interested people and were able […]

Application: Bathroom

Our cleaning plush is a true master of cleaning. The microfibre article with high moisture absorption and a “bristle” made of PorkyPine material even loosens hair from joints. Our “porcupine” textile is the specialist when it comes to bathroom cleaning, whether at home, in a hotel or swimming pool. We have the solution for your […]

We are pulling together. – Are you pulling with us?

As a large team, we work on the first-class quality of our products every day. If our customers are satisfied with the goods, so are we and that is our joint success. Mutual support, laughing and learning together – that’s what binds us together and makes us strong. Are you with us? We look forward […]

Promoting young talent in a different way

We are always happy to be able to support young talents and bring them forward, not only in our own ranks. In April 2021, we received a request from Anna-Maria Gerisch for fabric samples. She had started her master craftsman training in interior design in March 2021 and needed velour for her masterpiece. The practical […]

A successful party

Last Saturday and Sunday, the volunteer fire brigade in Lichtenstein held its annual fire brigade festival.

Are you into fabric?

We certainly do, in the form of contract fabrics and technical textiles. Do you also have a weakness for plush, exclusive and high-quality velour and textiles or have you not yet discovered your love of fabrics? In addition to skilled workers and trainees, we are also looking for career changers who can enrich and advance […]

Armed for all eventualities

Our paint roller S 518 is a paint roller made of endless profile polyamide yarns with a special unique look for lint-free painting with excellent area coverage. A product made by professionals for professionals! A special weaving technique ensures optimum lint-free work in addition to the unique design as recognition.

The all-rounder

Our universal item the cleaning plush 7624 made of microfibre and polyamide bristle is hard-wearing, durable and has very good gliding properties due to its polyamide bristle strips. Colour distinctions are also possible for different plastering areas according to customer requirements. In this example, white was chosen as the base colour with light grey and […]

Between buffet, bar and visitors: Spandauer Velours had good reason to celebrate last Friday.

From (West) Berlin to Lichtenstein in Saxony, from a manufacturer of upholstery fabrics to one of the leading manufacturers of velour and plush fabrics: in purely factual terms, this is how one could describe the development of our company over the past 35 years. But emotionally, these few words cannot capture in the least what […]

Refreshment on the menu?

After the summer has given everything in the last few weeks, it was time to treat our employees to a “cool” break refreshment on Tuesday. We would like to thank Eiscafé Kampanile from Mülsen for providing us with their delicious homemade ice cream. Whether creamy with vanilla, cappuccino, chocolate or stracciatella or fruity with raspberry […]

35th company anniversary of Spandauer Velours GmbH & Co. KG and 30 years of the Lichtenstein facility

On 30 June 1987, exactly 35 years ago, Spandauer Velours GmbH & Co. KG was founded in (West) Berlin. The district of Spandau not only served as the headquarters for our company, but was also incorporated into our company name. After reunification, the then owners of the company acquired premises of the former Hohenstein-Ernstthal furniture […]

The scratchy one

The abrasive bristle of this cleaning velour removes heavy soiling on scratch-resistant surfaces. A combination of tremendous water absorption and extreme resistance ensures a wide range of uses both outdoors and indoors. Our cleaning plush S 416 fits perfectly into any joint, even in natural stone floors, has a low electrostatic charge and is particularly […]

Spot on!

Our customer jundado GmbH uses our “Gerry” and “Viola” contract fabrics to produce these practical reading lamps called “Henry”.

Professional marathon in Lichtenstein

An interesting day came to an end. Last Friday we visited the Heinrich von Kleist secondary school in Lichtenstein. This year’s vocational marathon took place there, where we got to talk to the pupils of the 8th and 9th classes. Our apprentice industrial clerk Louisa and our personnel officer Kristyna Lamblova were on site. The […]

Durable fibres with colourful accents

Another technical textile from our development is the paint roller 1419. In detail, this is a microfibre yarn with the highest absorption and dispensing capacity of paint, which is wound with a coloured component made of PES. The wrapping ensures a long service life and the stability of the single fibre in the pile.

Spring is when the soul thinks colourfully again.

The grey, gloomy weather of winter does depress the mood at some point. So the first rays of sunshine directly put you in a good mood. If you want to bring the fragrance and colour of spring into your home, a colourful bouquet of spring flowers, such as tulips, is a good idea. The colourful […]

Three yarns meet colour

The paint roller 1139 consists of a coordinated combination of three different special types of yarn. By adding the individual yarns, it ensures the perfect painting quality.

Happiness is the feeling of warm sunlight touching you on a cold winter day.

Slowly, the days are getting longer again and the sun is returning from its winter rest. Time to get outside more often and enjoy the first rays of sunshine. After the dark season, sunlight is particularly good for you, because it increases your own sense of well-being, as happiness hormones are produced when it is […]

“Kindness is like snow, it beautifies everything it covers.” – Kahul Gibran

We’ve been eagerly anticipating the new year and now it’s here: 2022. 365 chances to change something or start something new. It doesn’t always have to be a big change right away, because the magic lies just as much in the little things, such as a smile or a compliment. These small kindnesses brighten the […]

“Within ourselves lie the stars of our happiness.” – Heinrich Heine

“It’s the little things in life that matter.” – George Bernhard Shaw

Heard many times, but still not internalised.

Individual look through costumer specific textile printing

You want to give our textiles an individual look afterwards? With the velours „Monaco“ and „Gerry“ from our collection a textile printing is possible, as you can see on our costumer example. #spandauervelours

Velour „Lydia“ convinces with soft feel and silky glimmer

Not only for us a real eye-catcher! The very soft feel as well as the light silky glimmer caused by light irradiation emphasize our velour „Lydia“. The available colours gold and silver underline this look. #spandauervelours

A distinctive look with our velour „Bruno“

Our robust and slightly rough Velours „Bruno“ convinces by a perfect mix between technical and object textiles. Considering the combination of the unique mélange yarn with a coloured yarn gives Bruno its unmistakable look. #spandauervelours

Real shine performances with our velour „Penelope“

Real glossy appearance with our velour „Penelope“! Penelope convinces with its shiny metallic look caused by the metallic yarn. A special textile, which is perfectly suitable for stages and events. #spandauervelours  

Our textile mix „Silvana“ is a real eye-catcher

The mix of technical textile and contract fabric and the silver-metallic yarn used for it, give our “Silvana” a very special look and a wonderful silky glimmer. In our opinion a real eye-catcher, isn’t it? #spandauervelours

Individual look due to costumer specific embroideries

Doesn’t this customer example look beautiful? You see, embroideries on our textiles are also possible. Therefore, you can use almost every velour from our assortment. Especially on theater curtains a real eye-catcher! #spandauervelours

A real specialty: Our flat weave „Solveig“

A real specialty is our flat weave „Solveig“, which is perfectly suitable as a sun protection. The processed silver or gold metallic yarn ensures great light reflections! #spandauervelours  

„Henna“ – the desirable and beautiful one

No wonder that our densely woven wool-viscos-mix found a high customer demand at our fairs. The shiny, red wool look convinces on all levels, optical as well as haptic. #spandauervelours

Henry – simply unique!

The rough surface of our „Henry“ hasn´t the  typical haptic for a velours, nevertheless the material convinces with its natural look owed by its special mélange yarn. Just simply unique! #spandauervelours

It all depends on the right mixture!

To one half technical textile to the other object fabric. Only one advantage with which our Velour „Mark“ presents itself.
