ASICS invests in Israeli spidersilk developer
18/05/2020
Seevix manufactures SVX through biomimicry in a controlled fermentation-based process; it is now working on ways of creating thinner, lighter and tougher products on a commercial scale and, although much of its focus until now has been on medical devices, it will work with ASICS to develop sporting goods that use SVX.
ASICS said this move was in keeping with its plans to create “differentiated innovation”, to shift to sustainable materials, including those deriving from biotechnology and to contribute to a circular economy.
