Although Zweigart & Sawitzki recently celebrated their 120th Anniversary, their history dates back much further. In 1877, Paul Zweigart and Julius Sawitzki merged together to form one of the leading textile manufacturers. Under the name Zweigart & Sawitzki, they have produced top quality fabrics and canvas with knowledge and experience that has been passed down through many generations, compiling an impressive total of 355 years of experience.

Zweigart's diverse product line, coupled with consistently superior quality, are two main contributing factors in maintaining their worldwide leadership status within the textile industry. One example of their success occurred in 1890 with the development of the first Aida cloth and throughout the years, their superior finishing techniques and strict quality control have helped them in their quest for success. Their two mills, one in Germany and one in Switzerland, currently produce over 800 different items, including afghans, plainweaves, linens, damasks, stitchband, pre-finished items and needlepoint canvas, which are then distributed to 128 countries. The hotel/restaurant collection, which was introduced in the early eighties, further diversified the product line to include many varieties of table linens and home decor items. Expansion as well as improvement is always the focus at Zweigart.

Through twelve decades, Zweigart & Sawitzki has managed to sustain a position of leadership in the world within the textile industry, emphasizing research and development…always staying a step ahead in the industry.
