inhouse R&D
The Research & Development department is of critical importance for the group. Over the years we have gained thorough expertise in technical textile properties and their associated production challenges. The product managers, who are experts in a specific market segment, guide the R&D department to develop a product portfolio tailored to specific market requirements.
Our R&D team is composed of a diverse group with a broad range of expertise and skill set. This includes textile engineers, chemists, materials scientists and designers. The team works together by researching, designing, testing and developing new fabrics and technologies, with one important condition in mind: improving the sustainability and environmental impact of textile production methods.
Our R&D team
Textile Engineers
Our textile engineers develop new textile materials and improve the performance of existing materials. This means they work on improved strength, durability, etc, and other properties of textiles. Apart from the product side, they may also work on the development of new production methods for our fabrics.
Chemists
The chemists working in our lab develop new textile finishes and dyes, and research which new materials can be composed in our textile production. They also work together with our product designers on recycling and upcycling textiles.
Fabric designers
Our designer team focusses on new textile designs and patterns, as well as researching new applications for textiles. Together with the quality team, the designers are responsible for the certifications of our existing and new fabrics.
