New Synthetic Leather for the Rail Sector
Testori Textiles presents a new-generation synthetic leather for the railway sector, designed to exceed the physical and mechanical performance of previous formulations.
This material is ideal for seats and headrests, combining aesthetics, durability and compliance with the latest EN 45545 fire safety standards.
In addition to its technical reliability, it is also available with OEKO-TEX and GRS certifications – aligning with the growing demand for sustainable and responsible interior solutions in public transport.
A new surface concept, engineered to meet the needs of modern rail operators.
Vandal-Proof Fabrics
Testori Textiles has developed a new anti-vandalic textile solution for the railway and bus sector – the only one of its kind fully compliant with the latest version of EN 45545 fire safety standard.
This material is specifically engineered for seat ducting and vulnerable areas of train and bus interiors, offering enhanced resistance to wear, graffiti and tampering.
Already in use in its previous configuration on trains and buses produced by major international manufacturers, the upgraded version is now ready for railway operators facing the challenge of vandalism in public transport.
A new benchmark for safety, durability and reliability.
Circular Fabrics
At Testori Textiles, circularity takes shape through two complementary, high impact processes.
First, we recover textile production waste, which is unraveled, reduced to fibre and spun into new yarns. These regenerated yarns are then supplied to the fashion and interior design sectors, contributing to more responsible material cycles beyond the world of transport.
Second, in collaboration with leading transport industry players, we transform end-of-life fabrics into new textile materials with a different purpose – while preserving the fire resistance certifications required by each sector, from rail to marine to aerospace.
Two processes, one vision: extending the life of materials without compromising on safety, performance, or sustainability. Learn more about our sustainable solutions here.
Arlecchino Train
From heritage to high performance.
Testori Textiles is proud to support the restoration and relaunch of iconic trains like the Arlecchino, one of the most celebrated symbols of European rail design. Thanks to our historical archives, we can faithfully reproduce original fabrics from legendary rolling stock – combining timeless aesthetics with the most up-to- date EN 45545 railway certification.
A unique capability that bridges past and future, elegance and safety.
