HTW Design Carpet 

Some words of history:

In 1880 Karl Wilhelm Koch and Jerry Koch melt the firm together 

of production of moquettes \" axminster «. 

It is as at that time as was created mark \" Halbmond \".

In 1913 already, the firm sees itself granting the gold medal in the living room 

international of building materials of Leipzig. 

Numerous differentiations of the same type will follow, in Chicago or in 

Antwerp for instance.

From 1990, after the fall of the wall, the firm takes the name of  

\"Halbmond Teppichwerke GmbH\" and she starts one, from 1994, 

vast program of restructuring. 

Since then, manufacture concentrates exclusively on the manufacture of moquettes Chromojet, 

what goes hand in hand with a choice of colleagues highly skilled. 

It is in this epoch there that the department HTW Design Carpet – Design was born and 

Creation.

In 1996, Halbmond is bought back by the English Holding company Allied Textile PLC. 

But in 2007 the CEO Dr. Ralf Litzenberg and his right hand acquire them two 100 % of 

parts of the capital.

Strong points:

Having completed successfully the program of investment thrown there 

On 1994, it is in 2008 when the firm inaugurates the installation of 

any new technique of manufacture with injection of ink (chromojet), 

the most competitive system of the world. 

This technique, of a very high suppleness - being able to inject until

24 colours at the same time – allows the penetration of colours until 

woof, while guaranteeing an unequalled precision of drawings.

And these quality criteria allow an economic production 

even for small quantities. 

It goes without saying that the used materials answer the highest

requirements; that\'s how for 80 % of production in grain 

synthetic material we use the polyamide grain 6.6 Antron ®.

Result gives moquettes, width, slabs or modules, extremely resistant to wear, 

fabricated only according to individual requests of design and colours of the customers. 

HTW Design Carpet is the partner advice for every customer who is interested in the products of 

mark. 

His professionals of the textile soil, sales and marketing people, designers, technicians, etc accompany 

customer in creation, elaboration and pose of moquettes which will be fabricated 

exclusively for him.
