Textiles are one of humanity’s most intimate infrastructures. They touch skin, protect bodies, operate in hospitals, defense systems, cities and increasingly in space. Transforming Textiles develops advanced textile technologies and circular material platforms that transform fabrics from disposable products into long-life, regenerative infrastructure.

Transforming Textiles collaborates with established textile manufacturers to translate advanced material research into scalable industrial production. Production partnerships include leading textile producers in Turkey and Japan, supporting prototyping, material testing, and manufacturing development. Selected partners include:
One of the largest integrated textile and yarn manufacturing groups in Europe, with extensive capabilities across spinning, weaving, dyeing, and finishing. Kipaş supports industrial-scale material development and testing.
A long-established textile manufacturer with expertise in high-quality woven textiles and flexible production capabilities for advanced material development.
A specialized garment producer supporting experimentation and development of innovative garment constructions and material applications.
Through these collaborations, Transforming Textiles bridges research, advanced materials, and industrial manufacturing, enabling the development of textile systems designed for durability, traceability, and circular recovery.
Transforming Textiles is engaged in collaborative research and development initiatives within Japan’s advanced textile innovation ecosystem.
Through partnerships in Gunma Prefecture, one of Japan’s historic textile regions, the company is exploring joint development of circular textile technologies and advanced material systems.
A Letter of Intent signed in Kiryu, Japan (2025) outlines collaboration between Transforming Textiles and Japanese textile research and manufacturing partners to support the development of the Re:Weave™ platform and Sense-Tex® material technologies. LOI Gunma Textile co -EIT companies. Participating organizations include:
Marunaka Textiles Ltd. – textile manufacturing & material development
Gunma Textile Industrial Technology Promotion Association – industry coordination & innovation support
Textile Research Institute of Gunma – regional research and testing infrastructure
Kawamura Co., Ltd. – textile production and technology development
Together, these partners are exploring the formation of an international R&D consortium focused on hybrid textile materials and circular textile infrastructure, with the goal of enabling scalable industrial applications of Re:Weave™ technologies.
