Workwear technical fabrics
ISO 11612 certified flame-retardant fabrics are designed for hazardous workplaces, offering both comfort and ignition-resistant protection. EN 20471 high-visibility fabrics in yellow, orange and red are used in poor lighting or around moving machinery. Antistatic fabrics complying with ISO 1149-1-3-5 and IEC 61340 prevent uncontrolled static discharge and keep this property after washing. Industrially launderable knits meet ISO 15797 for high-temperature and chlorine resistance, for hospitals, food processing and hospitality. The medical range includes fabrics for surgical gowns, drapes, coveralls and masks, referenced to EN 13795 and AAMI PB70 levels 1 to 4.
Activewear performance fabrics
Performance fabrics are engineered with technical properties developed by the in-house R&D centre and are used by activewear brands worldwide. The performance line offers advanced moisture management, air permeability, durable dynamic knits, long-lasting functionality and odour control. The comfort range is designed for yoga and travel garments with four-way stretch, light weight, high breathability and shape retention. Outdoor knits use thermal insulation channels for warmth in cold weather and a cool, dry feel in heat; the innovative collection includes Cordura, Coolmax Ecomade, Nilit Breeze and wool blends.
Fashion knit fabrics
We design and develop sophisticated fabrics that combine comfort and style by following rising trends. Collections are presented as two seasonal collections and six capsule collections each year. Excellent fabric quality and a wide range of materials help global brands create fashionable garments. Lines include Proloom, Premiumline, jacquard, Fine Basic Line, underwear and printed knits, offered in different weights, prints, colours and textures. A design team of over 30 specialists also produces bespoke fabrics to order.
