What we believe in
We believe the future of technical textiles starts at the fiber level. By combining advanced fiber chemistry with structural engineering, we create textile threads that provide niche solutions for storing energy, sensing environments, and enduring extremes, enabling applications ranging from apparel and medical systems to space exploration. These threads aren't just novel structures, they will be fundamental building blocks of future soft-goods carrying desirable functions for mankind.
Who we are
We are a team of innovative chemists and textile engineers united by our passion for revolutionary technical textiles. Our team combines deep theoretical knowledge with practical expertise in fiber chemistry and structure engineering.
