FOOAN Innovation Lab: thinking solutions!
The FOOAN Innovation Lab is the innovation pool at FOOAN. Our textile think tank develops intelligent products,
individual solutions and innovative concepts for textile-related issues – not only for sewing and embroidery threads but also for the textile surface.
Whether polymer chemistry, mechanical engineering, textile, finishing or process engineering: the FOOAN Innovation Lab brings the threads of
all these disciplines together. The focus of our experts’ interdisciplinary cooperation is on the fields of the future:
Conductive
Sensory
Composite
Research and innovation are an integral part of our processes. In close cooperation with our customers, our interdisciplinary team develops
solutions ranging from special smart yarns for technical textiles to individual product designs for the automotive sector. As the interface between
market and customer, we translate your requirements and ideas into textile concepts.
Intelligently embroidered and smartly sewn: FOOAN yarns for smart textiles
At a time when technology is becoming increasingly important in our lives, FOOAN develops intelligent yarns that precisely fit the application in question. The conductive and sensory fields in particular play a major role in our work in the Innovation Lab. Our innovative smart yarns are already used in a wide variety of industries today.
Typical applications for conductive threads include
Medical
Work clothing/Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Sportswear
Automotive
Sensor yarns are used in the following industries, among others:
Healthcare
Construction
Logistics
Agriculture
Once the prototypes of our new and further developments have proven themselves in practical application, we transfer them into series production. In addition to market requirements, we always keep an eye on cost efficiency and pay attention to a high level of product and process performance.
