We are on a mission to transform the raw material base of the global textile ecosystem with our breakthrough patented technology. This technology is based on the mechanical refining of raw materials, such as wood or cellulosic waste pulp, without harmful chemicals or dissolving. The technology is available through a licensing model, enabling partners to enter the growing textile fibre market efficiently. Licensing offers distinct advantages over other technology acquisition methods, such as faster time-to-market compared to developing new innovations from the ground up. In addition to ensuring a seamless startup process and providing comprehensive operator training, we offer opportunities to improve productivity and expand fibre product portfolios by leveraging our ongoing research and development efforts.
