Heating textiles and flexible electric heating elements

Heating textiles: electric heating elements and heat mats as semi-finished products for industry from the manufacturer Embro

What are heating textiles?

Heating textiles are textile materials that actively generate heat through integrated heating elements. They combine classic textile properties such as flexibility and lightness with the function of a heatable surface. They are used in everyday life, for example in seat heaters or functional clothing. And they are used in industrial, medical or safety-critical applications.

Embro relies on high-precision production using technical embroidery for heating textiles. The heating conductors are automatically sewn onto textile carrier materials in a freely definable shape, size and heat output exactly according to your desired layout. We manufacture customised, flat heating elements as semi-finished products that can be integrated into industrial products and systems.

Compared to classic technologies such as silicone heat mats, heat foils or heat tapes, heating textiles from Embro offer numerous advantages: they are lighter, more flexible, mechanically more robust and up to 10,000 mm in size. They can be produced efficiently in small batches from 500 pieces or large batches with up to 100,000 customised heating elements.

Utilise the advantages of modern heating textiles for your application. We support you in development, prototyping and series production.

Heating and measuring in one: heating textiles with integrated sensors

With Embro, you combine two functions in one component: heat and sensor technology. Our heating textiles can be combined with sensors that measure temperature, pressure, humidity or mechanical loads. This saves installation space, reduces complexity and opens up completely new possibilities in product development.

Advantages of integrated sensors:

✔ Temperature control in real time
By integrating temperature sensors, heating textiles can be precisely controlled for consistently reliable heat with minimum energy consumption.

✔ Pressure and load detection
Pressure sensors detect stresses, e.g. on seats, backrests or battery panelling, and thus contribute to safety monitoring or comfort control.

✔ Intelligent feedback systems
The combination of heating element and sensor technology enables smart features: from humidity management to active control of temperature zones.

✔ Fewer components, more function
By combining several functions in one textile module, manufacturers can shorten the parts list, reduce assembly work and save space.

✔ Higher product quality and service life
The sensor system recognises critical conditions, such as material stress or temperature fluctuations, at an early stage and protects your products from failure or overloading.

With intelligent heating textiles from Embro, you can upgrade your products – functionally, safely and ready for series production. Let us advise you.
