The story of Moulinage du Solier

In 1987, Ernest Suchail, father of the current managing director, took over Moulinage Lemoyne and transformed it into Moulinage du Solier. As a manufacturer, its production was mainly for the traditional viscose and polyester textile industry.

 

A small business with 8 employees based in Dunières in the Haute-Loire, Moulinage du Solier has specialised in all types of technical and specific functional yarns since 1990. From the design and manufacture to the transformation of bespoke yarns, we work to our customers’ specifications.
