Régitex, Quebec yarn spinner of custom technical yarn
Régitex is an independent yarn manufacturer in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, Quebec, Canada, spinning custom technical yarns for weaving and knitting companies since 1998.
The yarn you receive today has to behave like the yarn in your previous order. Our work as a yarn manufacturer rests on that consistency, from one lot to the next.

Our approach
Our expertise as a yarn manufacturer
A yarn manufacturer turns fibres into yarn. Régitex spins both ring spun and open-end yarns, as single or plied yarns of 2 to 4 plies, from natural, artificial or synthetic fibres, some of them recycled.
Two spinning processes under one roof. Ring spinning, which is our main expertise, and open-end spinning give two different yarns from the same fibres. You compare the two constructions without changing supplier.
Colour blending in-house. Most of the coloured fibres we spin are solution-dyed: the dye is built into the fibre as it is produced, rather than applied to its surface afterward. Our teams then blend fibres of different shades until they match the requested shade.
Recycled fibres are blended in depending on the application and on the performance and certification requirements of your finished product. Fibre families and their parameters are described in technical information.
Before we launch a run, we analyze the fibres and yarns, and our team advises your operators on their machine settings. Cone winding gets the same care. A poorly wound cone costs you in machine stoppages.
You get a quote within 24 business hours. Orders start at 2,000 lb, which leaves room for a trial before a full run.
Rooted in Beauce
A commitment you can measure, order by order
“Seeing further together. To inspire and enrich humanity through the sustainable transformation of the world of technical yarn.”
We provide the carbon footprint of your order dynamically, a practice still uncommon in our industry. It comes from our GHG inventory, calculated in-house under the GHG Protocol following a materiality assessment and whose methodology was reviewed by the independent firm CCG Climat. It shows where the carbon weight of a yarn lies: nearly 90% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the fibre chosen, with a margin of error of ±5 percentage points. The lever is the choice of fibre, and we make that choice with you, before production.
An R&D pilot project showed that a flame-resistant yarn can incorporate 10% recycled fibres (underwear) and 12% (hoods). The pilot is a replicable proof of concept: as with all Régitex yarns, the recipe is developed to order for each production run.
Our commitment
Why choose Régitex
01
Our yarn is spun in Quebec, in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce
One plant and 65 people, at a single address: 745 avenue Guy-Poulin.
02
A spinning mill where the person who does the work decides
Régitex runs without a management committee and without traditional hierarchical titles: hierarchy emerges organically and naturally. The principle fits in one sentence that we repeat often: “the one who does is the one who knows.” The Ordre des conseillers en ressources humaines agréés (the professional order of chartered human resources advisors in Quebec) documented this way of working in its Revue RH as early as 2017.

Target standards, market by market, with the proof behind them
Régitex yarns are not certified directly: certifications are usually granted to the fabrics and finished garments made by our customers. They can, however, be designed to meet the requirements of many standards recognized in the industry, including those of NFPA, ASTM, ISO, OEKO-TEX, BNQ, CATCC, AATCC and EN. The target standards are described market by market, with the supporting proof.
Passing on the trade
Textile know-how gets passed on
At Campus Régitex, people learn by working at the plant: training for new workers, young people welcomed on site and online episodes about the team’s daily work.
Our yarns, from our plant to the finished product
Can your yarns arrive already coloured?
Yes. Over 33% of the fibres we buy are already coloured, and over 60% of the yarns we produce contain at least one coloured fibre. With already-coloured fibres, your team can skip the dyeing step. Blends and colour are detailed on the Technical information page.
What finished products do your yarns end up in?
Weaving and knitting companies that buy our yarns make them into fabrics for protective clothing, personal protective equipment, military applications and geotextiles. Details by use are on the Protective textiles and Military textiles pages.
