Who we are and where we come from.

Our company has a rich history of providing quality textiles, with almost 180 years of experience

It all began in 1849 with the founding of the company under the name Fa. Schüssler & Co. At first, we operated as wholesalers of various cotton fabrics for stages, theatres, and large screens that were hand-painted. In the 1980s, we focused on digital printing and developed a coating process that made fabrics suitable for digital printing. Over the years, this spirit of innovation and commitment to quality has led to many other processes and products, such as be.tex® Samba® FR, which continues to set the industry benchmark today.

Tradition Meets Modernity

In 2017, Berger Textiles followed the long tradition of the textile industry in Krefeld and relocated to the Mies van der Rohe Business Park. This unique site carries a pioneering spirit and rich history: once a production hub for ties and silk textiles, it has been reimagined into an inspiring creative environment where industrial heritage meets modern textile innovation.
