Procotex Corporation SA

What we do: Procotex Corporation SA is a Belgian family-owned company specializing in the trade, processing, and recycling of sustainable fibers, with a particular focus on flax—a natural fiber for which Belgium has been a global center for over 3,000 years. We supply high-quality flax fibers to industries such as spinning, paper, sanitary products, and composites, while also recycling natural, synthetic, and technical textile waste into new fibers for automotive, geotextile, mattress, furniture, drainage, and compounding applications. Our product portfolio includes flax fibers, natural recycled fibers, synthetic recycled fibers (such as PP), and technical recycled fibers (including carbon and aramid), making us a global leader in sustainable and recycled fiber solutions[1][4][5].

Where we are located: Our headquarters is located at Rue Theodor Klüber 8, 7711 Mouscron, Belgium, in the heart of the historic flax region. We also have daughter companies in Lithuania, Turkey, and France, supporting our international operations and customer base[1][3].

Short history: Founded in 1994, Procotex has grown from a local family business into a diverse and innovative international company. The Douchy family, with deep roots in the flax industry, has guided the company through generations, expanding from traditional flax trading to pioneering textile recycling and the development of new sustainable fiber applications. Continuous investment in R&D and a commitment to sustainability have been central to our growth and market leadership[1][3][6].

Organization & culture: With around 250 employees and a turnover of approximately EUR 50 million, Procotex is a significant player in the sustainable fibers sector. Our culture is built on family values, employee engagement, and a strong commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility. We believe that motivated teams are key to our success and invest in their development and well-being. Sustainability and the conservation of raw materials are cornerstones of our corporate philosophy, reflected in initiatives like our photovoltaic plant in Dottignies, which reduces our ecological footprint[1][3].

Recent developments: Procotex continues to expand its recycling capabilities and develop new applications for recycled fibers, including technical fibers for the composites industry. Our focus on renewable energy and sustainable production processes positions us at the forefront of the green transition in textiles and materials. We are recognized for our ability to deliver high-quality, competitively priced sustainable fibers to a global clientele, reinforcing our reputation as an industry innovator and responsible corporate citizen[1][4][5].
