Kris Coen

Business Development

I started Cateno because I have a strong belief that better technical textiles can be made by combining (existing) materials and methods. New possibilities become apparent when you are not limited to the technology of one company but when you instead consider every material and every production technique available. This is where Cateno comes in.

I have 20 years of experience in the technical textiles industry and have been involved in projects using many textile techniques, many materials and operating in many markets. This long-term experience allows me to understand Customer needs, the economics of market sectors, sourcing the right material(s) and production method(s), to find the most reliable partners and to make a team with every stakeholder involved. My business concept offers a unique valued proposition for both producers and end-user.
