The factory is 130 years old
Founded in 1896, our company is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year.
Over the decades, the original cloth factory has evolved into a constantly evolving yet steadfastly traditional workshop, where knowledge, material expertise, and craftsmanship accumulated over generations remain the cornerstone of our work to this day.
​
Building on this heritage, Multifelt now focuses on contemporary applications for its own wool felt. Our in-house acoustic panel collection addresses the challenges of modern interior design and the creative industries: it provides both aesthetic value and effective acoustic solutions.
​
Our products are manufactured entirely in-house at our own facility, from design through to production. The processes are overseen by highly skilled professionals—including master upholsterers—ensuring unique quality and attention to detail.
​
For Multifelt, 130 years is not merely the past, but a continuous journey of creation: innovative design solutions rooted in tradition that bring character and functionality to today’s spaces.

How it is made
Wool felt has properties such as unique durability and resilience. The waviness of the fibers provides natural flexibility. This flexibility makes it resistant, while the outer covering of the fibers forms a protective film layer called Lanolin. This thin waxy coating on the wool fibers makes the wool waterproof. Wool can be dyed well, as the natural dyes penetrate right up to the middle of the fiber and the color becomes intense and permanent. Since all wool fibers have a natural moisture content, they are perfectly fireproof without any chemical treatment.
1. Sheep shearing
Sheep are shorn once a year, usually in spring, to prevent them from overheating during this season while allowing their fleece to regrow by winter.
2. Wool cleaning
The shorn wool is washed to remove wool grease (lanolin) and other animal-related impurities. After this vegetable matters can be removed through carbonization or combing.
3. Carding
4. Felting
The carding machine aligns the unruly wool fibers into an organized sheet forming a continuous wool fleece that is rolled up ready for the next step.
Under the influence of high temperature and steam the scales of the wool fibers open up. With the rubbing motion of the felting machine, the fibers interlock, forming felt.
5. Fulling
To achieve greater density the felting process is followed by so-called fulling. During this process the felt shrinks under repeated beating, thus densifying the material. Fulling continues until the desired density is reached.

6. Dyeing
For dyeing the finished wool felt we use dyes certified under the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Custom color dyeing is also available.
7. Drying
8. Cutting
The finished felt is dried trimmed and nopped (surface treatment). The production process is completed by ironing or for thicker industrial felts, pressing.
The finished product is cut or die-cut according to specific needs. Upon request we also offer further processing of the felt, including custom cutting, tailoring and sewing.
What Multifelt's values are

Natural and sustainable solutions
Unique solutions with Hungarian production
Multifelt is not only the only felt factory in Hungary, but there are hardly any such factories in the Central European region. We are also considered a rarity among European factories as we are flexible in a large color range, and even undertake the production of smaller quantities tailored to individual needs unlike large manufacturers. In addition our products are available in a wide range of standard colors.
Flexibility and uniqueness above all else
Environmental awareness is essential today and Multifelt is at the forefront of this. Our products are made from natural wool which is not only sustainable, but also an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic felts. Recyclability and the use of renewable raw materials ensure that our products meet modern environmental and sustainability requirements.
Multifelt is committed to meeting the needs of every customer to the fullest. Our services include custom small-batch production where a wide range of colors, sizes and shapes are available. Thanks to our flexible minimum order options, we offer an ideal solution even for smaller companies or unique projects.
