Cigar industry
Van Heek Textiles produces high-quality knitted materials tailored to meet the unique demands of the cigar industry. These materials are primarily used as bobbins for transporting tobacco leaves, ensuring the safe and efficient handling of delicate cigar components.
Knitted fabrics for bobbins
The labour-intensive process of punching the tobacco wrappers and binders is carried out in countries such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and the Dominican Republic. After die-cutting, the wrappers and binders are carefully placed on bobbins and transported to Europe in a deep-frozen state for final processing, ensuring their quality and integrity.
