High-quality and elegant fabrics by the meter since 1925

As a fabric manufacturer with production facilities in Germany, we have been supplying the fashion world with our first-class fabrics for 100 years.

The wardrobe of the world in Helmbrechts

When Wilhelm Zuleeg laid the foundation stone in 1925 with two mechanical looms for the quality fabrics for fashionable women's and men's clothing that are still produced at the same location today,
Corporate Wear and Technical Fabrics, meeting demand for bedding, tableware and clothing fabrics was particularly important.

Even back then, the strong family bond formed the basis for building a company as a fabric manufacturer and fabric retailer, and quality was a top priority in Zuleeg's history right from the start.

For almost 100 years, we've cultivated a personal relationship with our valued employees. This is the only way we're able to consistently keep up with market trends and fully satisfy our customers.
