Our Company
SOTEXPRO - the SOcieté des TEXtiles de PROtection (Protective Textiles Company) - is a family-run industrial company specialising in the design and production of flame-retardant (M1 certified) decorative textiles. Since 1973 and in order to satisfy new regulatory requirements introduced that same year, all product ranges are developed based on the French ‘M’ classifications according to the fine blend of decorative and safety elements respecting the FR requirements of M1, B1, BS5867-part 2 and EN13773 Clase 1. SOTEXPRO, makers of the original Crocfeu fabrics and trail-blazers ever since their creation, are still recognised as innovative and creative to this day.

SOTEXPRO is the leader in FR fabrics in France.

Our Tradition

In a permanent quest to constantly improve performance and reactivity, this company ensures optimum service in the matter of unrivalled choice and total satisfaction from our complimentary services.

Our Creativity

Capitalising on the textile tradition in our region, we benefit from a favourable environment and technical expertise that encourages creativity, thus meeting the demands of the FLAME-RETARDANT decorative furnishings market today.

Stylists, colour specialists, designers and technicians are at the heart of this creativity enabling us to continually update our collections and research «specific projects» for the contract market entrusted to us by our customers.

Our Makes

    A reference in FR fabrics

SOTEXPRO built its reputation thanks to its world renowned Crocfeu make. Representing reliable, attractive no-nonsense fabrics, Crocfeu brings peace of mind to its buyers not only for its large choice of flame-retardant fabrics but also for its ease-of-use and good value for money.

The Crocfeu make and logo constitute the guarantee of a reliable brand for all our quality fabrics :
  ■ PLAIN & PRINTED
  ■ LIGHT-FILTERING
  ■ BLACKOUT
  ■ VELVETS
  ■ VOILES
  ■ TECHNICAL (bioactive, aluminium-coated, velum, etc…)

  High-end FR fabrics
A new name in high-end FR fabrics. SOTEXPRO, wishing to distinguish the Crocfeu-branded fabrics from its elaborate textiles and Jacquard fabrics, brings you a new make in decorative flame-retardant fabrics designed and destined for high-end users, luxury buyers, hotel decorators/contractors and architects.

The Soprane Harmonies Collections are made up of coordinated plain fabrics, printed fabrics, fantasy voiles and woven fabrics to provide solutions in design and decoration to satisfy all client needs.

Beautifully safe.

Our vision
A sustainable strategy
To commit to a procedure of sustainable development requires a strong will. Conscious of the challenges that preserving the environment represents, we need to be committed and responsible actors at the very heart of our own company first.

From the very choice of raw materials, through to the production and making-up, up to the commercialisation of our offer, we voluntarily commit ourselves to an environmental course of action around these priority themes:

...to guarantee the QUALITY and TRACABILITY of our products :
  ■ OEKO-TEX ® certification (Health textile label)
  ■ The REACH directive

…to master our ENERGY CONSUMPTION, saving RESOURCES and the ENVIRONMENT  :
  ■ A system of sorting, compacting and recycling waste (cardboard, fabrics, plastic, metal…)
  ■ Rules for transport and packaging optimisation
  ■ A system of production optimisation and rationalisation

SOTEXPRO thus confirms its commitment to act as an ECO-RESPONSIBLE ACTOR
