AMSilk To Debut Biofabricated Yarns At Pitti Immagine Filati 2024
AMSilk GmbH, a leader in advanced biomaterials made from spider silk-based proteins, has announced its participation in Pitti Immagine Filati in Florence, Italy, from Tuesday, June 25th, to Thursday, June 27th, 2024, where it will showcase its innovative biofabricated yarns.
AMSilk is rapidly advancing towards becoming a commercial supplier of spider silk protein and currently stands as the only company to successfully produce filament yarns from these proteins. By attending Pitti Filati, the company aims to connect with forward-thinking players in the luxury textile market and explore new opportunities for commercial collaboration and co-creation.
“Pitti Filati is renowned for innovative yarns, attracting prestigious brands and designers worldwide. Italy is a key destination for us due to its excellence in fashion and textiles,” commented Benoit Cugnet, Head of Fiber BU at AMSilk.
AMSilk’s fibers and yarns, produced through biofabrication, offer significant potential as material solutions for various applications. They range from ultra-fine yarns for premium silk-like fabrics to technical yarns for automotive interiors. These protein formulations are free from animal-origin substances or fossil-based raw materials and do not leave microplastics behind. They are verifiably biodegradable or recyclable at the end of their life cycle. Being biofabricated allows these materials to be tailored at a molecular level to meet specific market or product requirements.
AMSilk provides disruptive material solutions that enable leading brands to address their carbon footprint with superior biofabricated yarns, offering new opportunities to innovate in fashion.
The AMSilk team will be available at the event to showcase their unique and cutting-edge solutions. To schedule a meeting or visit their stand, please contact us directly.
