Technology

At the production site in Lokeren, IFG Cresco produces high quality technical textiles in a fully integrated production process. We manage the process from raw materials to finished fabrics.

IFG Cresco has its own in-house quality lab, where quality is followed up through the whole production process. During every step of the way certain parameters are tested. We monitor the thickness, strength, colour and weight of tapes, but also the shrinkage, UV stability, light permeability or fire behaviour of our fabrics. Where needed we partner with external labs for third party testing.  IFG Cresco is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.
