Who we are
Created in France
over 90 years ago!
The Spontex story begins with the development of the first industrial plant-based cellulose sponge. We did say the very first one! A mixture of cotton, wood pulp and flax, it quickly became an essential.
Known and used throughout the world, it is still proudly included in the range of sponges available today to private individuals and professionals alike.
Historically, the name "Spontex" first introduced the sponge production line, before becoming a quality brand recognised in the world of cleaning both in locally and internationally.

is a contraction of the words
« sponge »
and textile.
