Baumwollweberei Zittau GmbH – Zittau
The affiliate in Zittau emerged from the Wagner & Moras company, which was founded in 1899. The company changed its name to Gebr. Moras in the 1940s. After World War II, Gebr. Moras AG was nationalized and turned into a “Volkseigener Betrieb” (VEB, nationally-owned company) in the German Democratic Republic (DDR); later it became Operation 4 of the Lautex Verbund (Lautex Association). Operation 4 was taken over by the Hans-Werner Hecking family in 1994, after a large portion of its production facilities had been already operating for H. Hecking Söhne for a number of years; that year, the Baumwollweberei Zittau GmbH (BWZ, cotton weaving mill) was founded.
Today, the BWZ operates a warping facility, sizing facility, weaving mill and cloth inspection, with adjoining finishing facility that also has a tentering frame at its disposal. Beside that, the Baumwollweberei Zittau has been the operator of a 370 kWp solar power plant since 2008.
