New York City-based Cyberknit -- a manufacturer of performance fabric for sports, fitness and tactical markets -- has partnered with Wakefield, Mass-based Agion Technologies Inc. to offer a new line of fabrics featuring Agion® Active™ dual-action anti-odor technology. The technology combines Agion silver-based antimicrobial technology with a new mineral-based technology to absorb and eliminate ambient odors (See " Agion Launches Agion® Active™ Dual-Action Anti-Odor Technology," July 29, 2009, www.TextileWorld.com).

"Because of their outstanding reputation as manufacturers of high quality performance fabrics and their deep expertise with finishes, Cyberknit was a natural choice for us when we considered how to best incorporate Agion Active technology into apparel," said Paul Ford, CEO, Agion Technologies. "We are excited to take this first step in our partnership and look forward to developing other opportunities with Cyberknit."
