LAVA Textiles acquires a majority stake in Funcotex S.L.

Two family businesses. Shared values. One vision.
 
With LAVA Textiles acquiring a majority stake in Funcotex S.L. we are building one group that combines design, flexibility and craftsmanship — while preserving long-term commitment to quality, reliability and customer trust.

LAVA Textiles announces that it has acquired a majority shareholding in Funcotex S.L., a leading European producer of high quality sewn mattress covers. This strategic partnership brings together two family businesses with a shared commitment to exceptional quality, outstanding service, and innovative design.

Both families will remain actively involved in the company, ensuring continuity, shared values, and a long‑term vision as they combine their strengths to offer customers worldwide an even more complete and valuable product portfolio. With this acquisition, LAVA Textiles and Funcotex  significantly reinforce their position in the mid‑ to high‑end segment of the international mattress industry.

The shared philosophy of quality, flexibility, customer focus, and strong design capabilities allows the newly combined group to offer an integrated product range, from premium knitted mattress fabrics to fully finished, zippered cut‑and‑sew covers, quilted solutions, topper covers and pillowcases. This integration enables LAVA’s sales team to offer a more comprehensive solution to customers, strengthening relationships and increasing responsiveness to market needs.

“This partnership strengthens our position as a European leader in premium mattress textiles,” says Johan Vanwelden, CEO of Lava Textiles. “Our sales teams can now offer fully finished  covers, which adds considerable value for our customers and allows us to respond to their needs more quickly and completely.” Funcotex will continue to be led by the Perez family, who will remain actively engaged in the company’s future growth and development.

The transaction is designed to create commercial and operational synergies while safeguarding continuity for all stakeholders. Existing contracts, relationships, and service levels remain unchanged. Both companies will continue to invest in their people, expertise, and production capabilities.

By combining scale with specialization, LAVA and Funcotex reinforce their long‑term commitment to the European market—delivering innovation, reliability, and high‑quality solutions tailored to evolving customer needs.
