The company offers ‘six never out of stock’ plain dyed ranges in different colours, weights and yarn quantities. These plain dyed ranges are complemented with bath robes, bath mats and slippers.

Lasa also presents two collections a year based on its r & d departments trend scouting. Additionally some new designs are launched every month as a ‘refreshment’ of the main collection.

Export production

More than 90% of the ‘terry’ production is jacquard in weights of between 240 gm/m²  - 1500 kg/m² (towels 240 – 700 gm/m²; bath robes at 480 gm/m²; and bath mats at 1500 kg/m²).

Featuring widths of 60 cm – 2.4 m, the Montex operates at speeds of 15 – 35 m/min.

According to José Antunes, the speed factor was an important consideration. “Even allowing for the age of the old stenter, the Montex is able to operate at twice the speed offering increased production.”

He also appreciates the Monforts horizontal chain system over competing brands, offering extended lifetime operation.

With 90% of production bound for the European markets – primarily Germany, France and Spain, plus the United States of America, leading customer brands include El Corte Inglês, Guy Larouche, Zara Home, Auchon, Diesel, Debenhams, Conran Shop and La Perla.
