Welcome to the German Textile Research Center North-West (DTNW)

We are a think tank for innovative technologies with which new textile products can be created. The DTNW is the competent partner in the textile field around functionality, finishing, ecology and testing.

The research of the DTNW complements the German textile industry as material science based industry and cooperates in a close partnership with the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and the University of Duisburg-Essen.
