Who we are

The history of Institute of Security Technologies MORATEX in Łódź dates back to 1953, when the Minister of Light Industry issued his Decree No. 430 on the creation of Laboratory of Technical Textiles.

The main goal of MORATEX activity is to develop modern designs and technologies of textile technical goods and implementing them to the industry. The institute worked-out the leading position among domestic R&D bodies and developers of hi-tech products intended for various branches of national economy. In 90’s the R&D workload has been remarkably moved towards developing of personal life and health protection means for individuals exposed to threats from bullets, fragments, impacts, harmful chemical or biological agents and unfavorable factors, as fire, temperature, water etc. The works of that times focused mainly on solutions related to technologies designed for services subordinated to the Minister of Interior and Administration and to Minister of National Defence.Since 1999, according to the decree of Prime Minister (Journal of Laws No. 24 item 217), MORATEX is the departmental R&D body supervised by the Minister of Interior and Administration. Starting with that moment all the effort of the Institute’s management and employees has been clearly driven to satisfying the expectations and requirements of the Police, Fire Service, Border Guards and the State Protection Service.
