Our R&D department
Our R&D department develops innovative solutions every day by leveraging new materials and advanced manufacturing processes. Our strength lies in our technical expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and in-depth knowledge of international standards and regulations.
Across all our production sites, specialists are involved in every step — from research and yarn development to fabric weaving and garment manufacturing. Our researchers and developers are fully integrated at every level of the value chain. We design highly specialised multilayer assemblies that deliver thermal protection, breathability, and mechanical strength — essential for protecting firefighters in extreme conditions.
Our innovative approach allows us to create garments that are as lightweight as possible, while consistently exceeding the most demanding protection standards.
