Research. When great things are created.

Research focuses on new solutions with additional materials

TITK (Thuringian Institute for Textile and Plastics Research) is our research and development partner. As a renowned, internationally recognized institute for polymer functional and construction materials, the TITK convinces with scientific pioneering achievements.

The industrial research of the TITK has developed from the purely textile competence in the application of fibre materials in the textile industry into a modern, globally recognised institute for polymer functional and construction materials.

For over ten years we have been investing in research into renewable, degradable filaments. Together we develop materials, processes and methods that increase competitiveness.

120 researchers from different fields

A team of around 120 scientists, laboratory assistants, technical and commercial staff work together in the Institute and in the two subsidiaries to carry out research and development work and material testing quickly and competently.

Our technology is patented

smartfilaments AG has exclusive rights to the technology for the production of these filaments. We want to share our knowledge and explore new opportunities together.
