“Montefibre MAE Technologies” has been incorporated in 2013 to collect and exploit the wealth of Know-How and  Technologies developed by Montefibre S.p.A. and MAE S.p.A. along decades, for technical and textile fibers.

Main Technologies owned by MMT include:
Textile Acrylic Fibers production, several processes for Carbon Fiber Precursor production, Carbon Fiber production from PAN Precursor, regenerated Cellulose Fiber production based on Lyocell and Carbamate processes.

In 2020, MMT is planning to incorporate “Astris Carbon”, to combine its Technological heritage with a unique historical experience in Process Engineering.
