Tricolast NV has been founded in 1948 and was a well known specialised in made to measure compression stockings.
In the 60ies, the Tricolast company started working with a new yarn - Thermolactyl - for the company Damart, whom we are still proudly supplying of several products.
At the beginning of the 80ies, miss Thérèse Van Den Heede-Hoste, commenced her activities at the family company and took on the challenge to create custom made garments for the post burn treatment.
After the Swittel fire in Antwerp in 1994 where many people needed treatment on large surfaces, Thérèse Van Den Heede-Hoste took on another challenge: the silicone challenge. Soon she was able to create RE-USABLE silicone garments to treat the large surfaces. A tremendous challenge in which she succeeded with her team of experts.
Re-usable because of the high cost of the raw materials. From here onwards, the Tricolast silicone was the first re-usable silicone sheet available on the market.
Today, Tricolast is still a family owned company that has a valuable expertise in custom made knitting and silicone coating applications. This expertise is expressed in the 3TK-technology.
Due to the 3TK-technology, Tricolast NV is able to create unique, stand alone concepts - Scarban(OTC) and Caroskin (M2M) - that offer long term solutions with the aim at top quality, high re-usability and therefore high cost-efficiency and optimal results with the combination of different expertises we have inhouse available.
