Its sources for the claim include Paris-based trends agency Peclers and Swiss style expert Jeroen van Rooijen.
“All the signs and predictions point towards major change and new beginnings,” Schoeller said in a recent statement, adding that it has no intention of missing out on the new technical textile trend.
Its offerings in this arena will centre on its iLoad “reloadable drug delivery technology” for textiles (for which the company won the Swiss Technology Award in 2011), and its energear energy retrieval system.
The
iLoad system works with a textile carrier material that can be individually loaded with beneficial or therapeutic substances. “The cornerstone has been laid for this project; now the task is to examine and further develop possible application technologies,” said Hans-Ju¨rgen Hu¨bner, chief executive of Schoeller Medical AG, in the same statement. He said the company would take “a highly scientific approach of a kind unusual among textile companies”.
Schoeller has invested in a laboratory with what it describes as high-quality research and analysis equipment, facilities for chemical synthesis and preliminary microbiological clarification.
It is working on an initial product line for sufferers of incontinence.
With “partnership-based developments”, it will look for further solutions geared to other customer requirements. “Schoeller firmly intends to be among the frontrunners in the major health trend and offers interested potential business partners intelligent possibilities for exciting cooperations,” it concluded.
