VelveTex, a.s.is the only manufactured of woven fabrics made of man-made filament yarns in Slovakia. The company is able to produce linings, ladies dress wear, jacqard fabrics, technical fabrics (materials for work clothing, beach umbrellas, furniture fabrics, products for the automobile industries.) and household fabrics (drapes, decorative fabrics, tablecloths.....). Textile manufacturing of woven fabrics made of man-made filament yarns began after Second World War in Považská Bystrica, Senica and in Cotton Factory in Rybarpole ( today Ružomberok) in the days of industrializing Slovakia. It was not very profitable production, therefore there was an effort to build a big weaving factory for woven fabrics made of man-made filament yarns manufacturing. The field day for building a factory was on 1th May 1947. During building and also in the first year of working, this factory was a branch of home factory in Ružomberok. In this year the factory was named: Slovak Cotton Factory-Factory Liptovský Mikuláš.
