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

  • Best Thesis in Textile Technology (2018) - awarded by Fedustria for “Optimiaztion of measurement methods on BCF-yarns”.

  • Extensive knowledge of weave structures, bindings, yarn analysis, and mass calculation.

  • Proficiency in VBA, SQL and .NET programming to support custom textile R&D databases.

  • Licensed Private Pilot in training - precision and focus extend beyond textiles.

  • 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.

  • I work from Belgium but support clients across Europe, Turkey, and internationally (including the US).
