Alge Elastic GmbH

Alge Elastic GmbH is an Austrian textile manufacturer based in Lustenau, Vorarlberg, specialising in technical and medical elastic bands, ribbons, and orthopaedic supports (Bandagen). The company operates as a vertically integrated, family-owned business, controlling the full production chain in-house — from its own weaving mill (Weberei), knitting mill (Häkelei), printing works (Druckerei), and dyehouse (Färberei) — which it presents as the basis for high quality and flexibility. The firm describes itself as a creative enterprise whose international designers draw on the potential of the family business to bring innovative developments to market. Its output reaches fashion and medical customers, with the company noting that much of what is worn in Milan, London, or Paris originates in Lustenau. It releases several complete collections each year and combines rational workflows, fully integrated product design, and modern logistics. Alge Elastic serves both technical and medical applications, producing elastic ribbons and bandages. Its portfolio spans the full production chain under one roof, a structure the company calls 'Vollstufigkeit' (full-stage manufacturing). The company markets itself on quality, trend awareness, and the 'Made in Germany' quality seal referenced on its website. As a family-owned enterprise, Alge Elastic remains privately held. Its website is published in German, English, French, and Russian, indicating an international customer base across European and other markets. The company also maintains an 'Alge-innotex' section, suggesting a focus on innovation and textile development.
