My story
I’m Freek VIjverman, founder of Weavix Belgium. With a background in Textile Technology, and nearly five years of experience as an R&D Project Enginier Textile Development, I’ve build my career around understanding and developping woven carpet structures.
My expertise ranges from face-to-face (handlook, flatweave, sisal, cut-loop) to yarn analisis, and software-driven textile research.
Alongside Weavix, I work as Rental Coordinator at Rental Pumps Group, giving me a strong grounding in technical project management. Outside of consultancy, I’ve also contributed as Head of Charity & Logistics at Flüüfff ASBL, combining leadership with social engagement.
Achievement & Skils

No. Weavix focuses purely on the technical side: analysis, reporting, and optimization. Bindings or technical designs are made on site as consultant.
-
I specialize in double piece weaving on Vandewiele looms, including handlook, flatweave, shaggy, sisal, and cut-loop carpets. Other woven qualities can also be analyzed upon request.
-
Reports are delivered as digital PDF by default. Hardcopy versions are also available upon request. Each report includes visuals, mass calculations, and binding/structure breakdowns.
-
Both. Analyses can be done remotely if samples are provided. For consultancy, training, or loom optimization, I am available to work on-site (in Belgium or abroad).
-
Yes. I create custom-made training programs for companies, tailored to their carpets, terminology, and design challenges.
