Schoeller Textil and Formosa Taffeta celebrate ten years
Switzerland-based Schoeller Textil, a textile technology company and textile producer Formosa Taffeta Co, joined forces ten years ago.
“This has proven to be the right decision,” said Hans-Jürgen Hübner, CEO of Schoeller Textil AG and Shih Ming Hsie, president of Formosa Taffeta Co. “The combination of Swiss expertise, the most modern technology and production capacity in Taiwan results in perfect conditions for manufacturing innovative, competitive products,” said Eric Chen, COO Schoeller FTC (HK) Ltd.
Swiss and Taiwanese textile designers and technical developers cooperate closely through teamwork and at creative meetings. This results in two collections per year, featuring high-tech fabrics with a high level of functionality, used primarily in sportswear, casual wear, fashion and workwear. A range of finishing technologies such as 3XDRY (moisture management), NanoSphere (water and dirt repellence), coldblack (UV and heat protection) or the bionic c_change climate membrane (wind and waterproof) equip the fabrics with intelligent additional functions.
Further specialties of the sftc collection are ultra-light, 100 percent “down-proofed” textiles for down jackets, which the companies claim is so densely woven that even the smallest of feathers cannot protrude. The head office of Schoeller FTC Joint Venture is located in Hong Kong, and the sftc fabric collections are represented globally by the sales organizations of Schoeller Textil AG. Schoeller FTC was also the first Asian company to receive bluesign certification.
