In short: biberna is known as the inventor of Biber bedding (brushed cotton flannel) and uses the same weaving expertise to produce stage molton – a heavy, densely woven, and opaque fabric for theaters, stages, studios, and events. The foundation is the company's own weaving mill in Hamminkeln, which the family business has developed since its founding in 1932.
biberna is known as the inventor of Biber bedding (brushed cotton flannel). But the same weaving artistry that has made our bedding so cozy for almost 100 years is also at the heart of a completely different product: stage molton. A story of manufacturing depth, experience, and our own weaving mill in Hamminkeln.
Experience becomes expertise
We have been weaving since 1932 – initially as a small contract weaving mill, today as an established manufacturer with our own weaving mill in Hamminkeln-Dingden. This high level of manufacturing depth means: We master the entire chain from yarn to finished textile in-house. This exact knowledge that we have built up over decades in the production of Flannel bedding flows directly into our technical textiles.
What stage molton is
Stage molton is a heavy, densely woven, and opaque fabric used in theaters, on stages, in studios, and at events – for example as a curtain, backdrop, or for blacking out. It is required to be dense, uniform, and reliable in processing – qualities that correspond exactly to our strengths.
Why our heritage makes the difference
A uniformly dense, high-quality fabric does not happen by chance – it is the result of experience, machine expertise, and quality control across all manufacturing stages. That we can produce stage molton of this quality is a direct result of our history as bedding weavers. From Flannel to stage curtain, it is therefore not a long way for us, but rather the logical continuation of the same craftsmanship.
One brand, many competencies
Whether cozy bedding for the home or technical textiles for the big stage – both are united by the same standard: quality with substance from a family business with its own weaving mill. You can learn more about our history and our factory outlet on the Factory Outlet page.
