Chargeurs Completes Cilander Acquisition, Expands Textile Leadership

Chargeurs has finalized the acquisition of strategic assets from Swiss company Cilander, integrating them into its CFT PCC Fashion Technologies (CFT PCC) business line. The move boosts Chargeurs' market position in high-end textiles, particularly for fashion, military, and mobility applications.

This acquisition aligns with Chargeurs' growth strategy, enhancing its global leadership through innovation and expertise. Cilander's assets include renowned brands and finishing technologies, facilitating new market entries and strengthening existing positions.

The acquisition includes a high-performance production facility in Lützelflüh, Switzerland, adding valuable capabilities in textile finishing. This complements Chargeurs' existing technologies and supports its leadership in high-quality textile production.

Cilander's brands, such as ALUMO and Eugster & Huber, now under CFT PCC, offer significant commercial synergies and access to new customer segments. The move is part of Chargeurs' strategic 2025-2030 plan, set for presentation in early 2025.
