Milliken & Company Textile Business Launches “Anything. Everywhere.” Campaign

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — March 13, 2023 — Milliken & Company announced the launch of its textile business’s first-ever brand campaign, “Anything. Everywhere.” Anchored by a new landing page and brand video, the campaign explores the many roles textiles play in everyday life.

“Our goal is to show the public that textiles go well beyond the clothes on your back. The work we do to design and manufacture some of the highest performing fabrics in the world is transforming industries and improving lives,” said David Smith, executive vice president, Milliken & Company, and president, Milliken’s Textile Business.

Milliken’s textile history dates back to 1884 with its investment in 43 textile mills across the U.S., cementing its position as a leader in the booming American textile industry. It began manufacturing textiles of its own in 1944 at the Defore Mill in South Carolina, which produced tire cord during World War II. Today, the Milliken’s textile portfolio extends across four categories, including building and infrastructure, automotive, apparel, and protective fabrics. Headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Milliken’s Textile Business employs more than 4,500 associates with a manufacturing global footprint that spans across 26 plants.

“Our business is incredibly diverse, from the industries we serve to the products we develop. That’s what makes the ‘Anything. Everywhere.’ campaign so comprehensive; it captures the power of textiles in the simplest form, by showing them applied to everyday life,” noted Michael Eckert, director of brand and content for Milliken’s Textile Business. He adds, “This campaign asks everyone to consider what textiles can do for them. We’re pushing the limits of what is expected from a manufacturing company.”

The campaign debuted in December 2022 and will continue to run through social media channels, trade shows and events, and other digital platforms. You can explore the Anything. Everywhere. campaign online at milliken.com/anythingeverywhere.

OrthoLite® Announces Exclusive Partnership With Novamont To Create The First Circular Foam Material Solution In Footwear

AMHERST, Mass./NOVARA, Italy — March 13, 2023 — OrthoLite®, the global supplier of sustainable, performance and comfort insoles and footwear materials solutions, and Novamont, the international innovator in the development, production and eco-design of biodegradable and compostable bioplastics and biochemicals, announce an exclusive partnership in the creation of OrthoLite Cirql™, the world’s first circular foam material solution for footwear.

OrthoLite Cirql foam is a patented footwear materials solution combining OrthoLite’s 26 years of expertise and innovation in foaming polymers and Novamont’s world-leading bio-based, compostable and recyclable polymer to provide the first technology capable of greatly reducing the high impact of the manufacturing process with multiple end-of-life disposal options.

According to a new Life Cycle Assessment carried out by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a typical pair of running shoes generates 14 kilograms or 30 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to running a 100-watt light bulb for a week.  Every year in the United States alone, people throw away more than 300 million pairs of shoes — 95 percent of which end up in landfills.

OrthoLite Cirql will offer a traditional plastic-free, scalable and truly circular material to OrthoLite’s 500+ footwear brand partners and factory stakeholders in 2023.

“OrthoLite Cirql illuminates the path forward to truly circular footwear,” said Glenn Barrett, CEO and founder of OrthoLite. “We are excited to be partnering with Novamont to escalate scalable solutions to drive positive change in the global footwear industry. This partnership is built on trust and transparency, as well as a relentless commitment to equip our 500-plus global footwear brand partners to have access to single-source circular materials, starting with the midsole.”

OrthoLite sought out the high-tech bio-polymer company because of Novamont’s pioneering activities in the field of the circular bioeconomy and for its 30 years of experience in the development of chemical and biotechnological processes to create low-impact certified biodegradable and compostable solutions with multiple end of life options for everyday life, including: packaging, separating organic waste collection, retail purchasing, disposable tableware, farming, lubricants, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more.

“Proving by facts that it is possible to ‘do more with less,’ Novamont has always based its model on the development of products conceived as true catalysts for change, which are capable of activating much greater systemic effects than the product itself, and not as mere substitutes for traditional ones,” explained Catia Bastioli, CEO and founder of Novamont. “Our philosophy has always been to avoid the problems of pollutant accumulation in the environment, and the fruitful collaboration with OrthoLite, a company that is also committed in finding solutions and not just products, allows us to bring our approach to the footwear industry for the first time.”

OrthoLite Cirql is free from “forever chemicals” and responsibly sourced from non-GMO traditional vegetable raw materials derived from plants plus synthetic biodegradable materials.  The material can be returned to the production cycle by low-energy, advanced chemical recycling to help keep materials in use or back to nature as fully compostable through selected industrial composting methods and processors. Using existing and new, closed loop, take back, recycling streams for footwear, scalable end of life management will involve collaboration with footwear brands and the waste management sector. OrthoLite Cirql will also help avoid the accumulation of persistent microplastics as particles will biodegrade similar to natural polymers such as cellulose.

Novamont Research developed a tailor made bio-polymer material for the OrthoLite Cirql’s chemical-free foaming process which uses nitrogen (from the air we breathe) combined with renewable energy. Unlike the conventional foaming methods currently used, no dangerous or toxic chemical additives are used in the production of Cirql. The biopolymer pellets are melted and mixed with liquid nitrogen under extreme pressure, in a unique injection molding process that results in incredibly efficient cycle times that reduce energy consumption and create a finished part with no downtime, polymerization or waste.

Certified as a B Corp in 2020 with a top-tier ranking, Novamont is a member of the United Nations’ Global Compact network, a leadership platform for the development and implementation of responsible corporate policies and practices. OrthoLite Cirql marks the company’s debut in the footwear industry. Together, the partners are bringing a global solution for environmental improvement across the global footwear industry, a market currently valued at around $400 billion.

Operating sustainably has also been central to OrthoLite’s DNA since its founding more than 25 years ago, beginning with footwear insoles containing recycled rubber. As the insole supplier of choice for more than 470 leading footwear brands worldwide, across all categories — outdoor, athletic, running, comfort, golf, lifestyle, and fashion — OrthoLite insoles are utilized in more than 500+ million pairs of shoes every year. With trust-based relationships through its wholly-owned and vertically integrated global supply chain and production facilities located in countries around the world, OrthoLite’s commitment to sustainable, circular solutions has an immense and measurable global impact. The brand’s current goal is to achieve zero waste, which is a significant step toward pollution reduction and the regeneration of natural systems — central tenets of circular, sustainable solutions.

OrthoLite Cirql is committed to full transparency and third-party validation, and has undergone extensive third-party testing and analysis including a complete Life Cycle IVL Assessment. OrthoLite Cirql is Certified Industrial Compostable – (Din Certco), REACH-certified (EU) and USDA Certified Bio Preferred®, RSL compliant (Intertek), certified GMO-free, certified Vegan and Hypoallergenic.

OrthoLite’s Cirql headquarters is in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam where its factory achieved an overall verified score of 95 percent from the Higg Index in 2022. As a vertically integrated company with its owned and operated factories across the globe, OrthoLite understands how to implement scalability with its brand partners and their Tier 1 footwear factories. OrthoLite has room to scale capacity on site at its factory in Vietnam and will work with the footwear brands and their factory partners who will meet the larger demands of the brands when it comes to scaling it. Novamont, headquartered in Novara, Italy, is also a global, vertically integrated company with the means to scale and grow this innovation in stride with OrthoLite. OrthoLite Cirql is moving from the lab into production scale in the back half of 2023.

Interlining Manufacturer Chargeurs PCC Reports Growth Of 33.4 Percent For 2022

PARIS — March 13, 2023 — Chargeurs PCC, global manufacturer of interlining and inner components for clothing, reports 2022 revenues of 220 million euros ($236 million), up 33.4 percent on 164.9 million euros ($177 million) in 2021.

The double-digit growth for the last fiscal year is the result of a business plan substantially based on three pillars: a cross-selling and continuously expanding offer, a concrete commitment to sustainability, and a strong global presence. It is a formula that has successfully met customer demands and is confirmed by the 2022 international sales figures, with United States, France, Italy and Asia as top markets and South America in strong recovery.

The excellence of materials and design, research and the use of advanced technologies have made it possible to propose the most innovative solutions, from both product and efficient service point of view, to a broad market that ranges from the leading haute couture and luxury brands to large fashion manufacturing companies in Europe and America, to the trend-setters in sportswear and athleisure. A comprehensive global presence with eight production sites on four continents, three innovation centers, 30 offices and distribution centers and over 1,000 employees allow to satisfy the needs of both the most consolidated and the emerging markets, meeting the production and distribution needs of a constantly evolving sector.  The French Group’s business approach, based on cross-selling and penetration of new markets, has resulted in a 2022 annual production of more than 300 million meters of interlining.

Gianluca Tanzi, chairman and CEO of Chargeurs PCC, commented: “A global presence and investment in sustainable solutions and innovative technologies have been the drivers to consolidate our market leadership, provide better service, and grow the business. Chargeurs PCC is a company that operates on an international scale, able to meet the needs of thousands of customers from differing market segments, from luxury to sportswear. Our development strategy will continue on this ambitious path with the goal of confirming ourselves as a benchmark representing excellence in the world of interlining and inner components for apparel.”

Chargeurs PCC is recognized as a pioneer in the product and sustainable process area. The company, operating across all continents and meeting the highest environmental standards, continually seeks solutions to increasingly cut its carbon footprint and waste. The “sustainable 360” line offers a wide range of eco-friendly products, which achieved significant sales in 2022, as well as the NATIVA™ collection of inner components, made from sustainable wool and traceable throughout the supply chain, and ZERO WATER, the ultralight interlinings range, targeting haute couture, using no water in its dyeing processes. (Industry usually consumes 30kg of water to dye 1kg of fabric).

ISKO’s Ctrl+Z Material Science – Now bluesign® APPROVED

TAYLORSVILLE, N.C. — March 13, 2023 —Denim ingredient brand and the full-service solutions system with a focus on sustainable chemistry have teamed up in a concerted effort to strengthen their partnership while promoting more sustainable textile production. The shared responsible values, top-class expertise and advanced sustainable innovations exhibited by the two companies continue with their newest venture. ISKO has achieved the bluesign® APPROVED label for Ctrl+Z recycled denim fabrics containing no virgin cotton and only recycled and regenerated fibers that are made to be fully recyclable with the newest recycling technologies, enabling a fully circular system.

It is a credential that Bluesign grants only to bluesign® SYSTEM PARTNERs, including manufacturers, that meet the strict safety and environmental requirements of the bluesign CRITERIA such as ensuring production sites are safe for workers, reducing CO2 emissions and water consumption, as well as avoiding hazardous substances in production among many others.

This label is one of the hardest sustainability credentials to achieve, by one of the most trusted independent authorities in the world. As such, it speaks to the level of transparency of ISKO’s products and to the sustainable and innovative approach that Ctrl+Z brings to the table and to production. Specifically, Ctrl+Z is material science that hits “undo” on post-industrial waste delivering fabrics made from recycled and regenerated content that look and feel identical to their former compositions with increased strength and durability.

“This is a great achievement for ISKO as we have been seriously investing from the very beginning to make our production, and the industry as a whole, more responsible, transparent, and ultimately sustainable. We are looking forward to this new partnership with Bluesign which keeps raising the bar of what is to be expected to make business better” states Ebru Özküçük Guler, ISKO’s Head of Sustainability.

Daniel Rüfenacht, CEO of Bluesign added: “The importance of developing recycled denim using responsible chemicals and processes cannot be underscored enough. The negative impacts of this section of the industry are well-documented. But ISKO’s continued focus on advancing innovations in denim textiles, while adhering to Bluesign’s high standards, demonstrates how partnerships can work holistically.”

Cotton Incorporated Continues To Weave Through Everyday Lives

CARY, N.C. — March 13, 2023 — For more than 50 years, Cotton Incorporated has led the charge in providing resources and research needed to help companies develop and market superior, innovative and profitable products. With U.S. cotton production on the rise in 2023, the company aims to ensure that cotton remains the first choice among consumers in apparel and home products while also providing sustainable solutions through every stage of the cotton life cycle.

Since it was founded in 1970, the not-for-profit company does not manufacture or sell products but conducts research to benefit every link on the cotton supply chain and develops promotions that encourage the use and desirability of cotton and cotton products.

As a recognized global authority and resource for all things cotton, the departments of Cotton Incorporated are comprised of experts that continually develop resources for each phase including:

  • Market Data – the company develops corporate strategy and program metrics based on market data including economic factors, supply and demand as well as supply chain insights.
  • Cotton Production – cotton growers, ginners and their support industries are provided research and technical services through the Agriculture and Environmental Research department who utilizes leading Universities and other research facilities in a wide range of disciplines to improve the profitability of cotton through the creation and utilization of knowledge.
  • Quality Products – research labs improve cotton by focusing on nonwoven innovations, product development, trend analysis, and modern dyeing and finishing techniques.
  • Consumer Marketing – cotton is woven throughout the everyday lives of consumers and through the research and innovations conducted it is imperative to convey the emotions and feelings behind the way cotton impacts our everyday lives.

Through Cotton Incorporated, cotton became the first commodity to market directly to the consumer. The icon for this outreach was the Seal of Cotton trademark, a logo indicating that the product contains cotton. Since its introduction in 1973, the Seal of Cotton has been used on a variety of cotton-containing and cotton-related products, from apparel and beauty products to laundry detergent. The Company’s 1989 “The Fabric of Our Lives” campaign conveyed the emotional connection between cotton and consumers, and how cotton touches our lives every day.

In more recent years innovative programs such as the Blue Jeans Go Jean™ denim recycling program and dynamic events such as Cotton’s 24-Hour Fashion Show and Cotton’s 60-second Runway Show showcase the range of cotton and cotton-rich apparel offered by well-known brands, retailers and designers.

Swiftwick® Launches MAXUS™ Socks With REPREVE® Recycled Polyester

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — March 6, 2023 — Swiftwick is thrilled to announce the launch of the MAXUS sock with a REPREVE® high-performance, recycled polyester footbed. With the release of the MAXUS featuring REPREVE, Swiftwick has achieved its 2023 goal of including Recycled, Renewable or Responsible fibers in 100 percent of its products made.

Swiftwick is committed to sustainability without compromise. The REPREVE high-performance recycled polyester incorporated into the MAXUS footbed maintains the same plush comfort and moisture wicking capabilities of the original MAXUS line. Now, each pair of socks uses one post-consumer water bottle, helping to keep single use plastic out of our oceans and landfills.

“Sustainability across both our business practices and our finished goods is important to our company and top of mind for our customers, which is why we’re excited to share the new MAXUS made with REPREVE,” Joanna Mariani, chief marketing officer at Swiftwick, said. “We continuously work to reduce our environmental impact across our manufacturing processes, and this new release helps to close the gap in our sustainable product offerings.”

In addition to launching the MAXUS with REPREVE this spring, Swiftwick is also committing to sourcing 80 percent of its Merino wool raw materials from RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified sources by the end of 2024, working towards 100 percent by 2027. RWS aims to improve the welfare of sheep and the land that they graze on and independently certifies animal welfare and land management practices in wool production and tracks certified material from farm to final product.

Each year, Swiftwick is taking steps to make a more positive impact on the planet. In 2019, they removed all single-use plastic from their consumer packaging, and are currently working to increase their total percentage of sustainable fibers. Additionally, Swiftwick continues to support key community organizations that place a focus on connecting underserved youth with the outdoors, helping foster a love and respect for chasing adventure and keeping our environment clean and safe for all to enjoy. They also partner with organizations in need of socks, donating over 13,000 pairs in 2022.

Stäubli Expands In Southern California As A Global Leader In Industrial And Mechatronic Solutions

CYPRESS, Calif. — March 9, 2023 — On March 6, 2023, Stäubli Group opened the doors of its brand-new office in Cypress, Calif. During this milestone, Gerald Vogt, CEO of the Stäubli Group, and members of the Executive Committee, were present. With this additional location, Stäubli aims to accelerate growth in North America and provide further local presence to customers.

The 5,500 square foot Cypress office represents three divisions of the company: Electrical Connectors, Fluid Connectors and Robotics. This new location in Southern California allows Stäubli to increase its focus on North American markets such as renewable energy and e-mobility for the Electrical Connectors Division, Tool Changers and plastics for the Fluid Connectors Division along with food and pharma for the Robotics Division. Services and support for all other markets related to Electrical and Fluid Connectors and Robotics are also provided by the local divisional teams. The Cypress office is part of Stäubli Corp. in Duncan, S.C. Jean-François Masbou, managing director, Stäubli North America, said confidently, “We see great value in this new facility in Cypress to expand the reach of our North American base, particularly in terms of training, spare parts availability as well as physical proximity to customers.”

Stäubli’s presence in North America

In 1953, Stäubli entered the North American market, represented by H.J. Theiler Corp. in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Due to the success of the Stäubli products, the Group decided in 1980 to create its own sales and services office Stäubli Corp. in Duncan. Stäubli Corp. remains the North American main base of the company, offering comprehensive support to customers of the Fluid Connectors, Robotics and Textile Divisions. Shortly after, in 1982, Stäubli Electrical Connectors began operations in Windsor, Calif., in manufacturing and selling electrical connectors. To provide further support to customers in all industrial sectors with a special focus on the automotive industry, Stäubli opened a training facility and service center in Novi, Michigan, in 2018. Today, the dynamic Stäubli sales force is strategically placed in Michigan, South Carolina, the West Coast, Canada and Mexico.

Customer proximity and quality of service

“Stäubli establishes offices all over the world in order to pursue the values that have always driven us: customer proximity and quality of service. With the location in Cypress, we want to maintain our partnerships with existing customers here in this area, but also attract potential customers with our innovative solutions and local support,”  Vogt said. Various services such as local customer meetings, robotics training, renewable energy and e-mobility service support and more are provided to customers in Southern California out of the new facility.

Ian Pratt, managing director, Windsor, added: “The closeness to trade show centers is another important factor that makes Cypress an ideal location for Stäubli. With the new office we can easily schedule extended meetings with a prospect from a trade show and hold additional events.” Furthermore, the new office is centrally located only 12 minutes away from Long Beach Airport (LGB), 15 minutes away from John Wayne Airport (SNA) and 31 minutes away from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), one of America’s primary international airports.
