Freudenberg Develops New Generation of Interlinings
August 30, 2011 - Germany
By developing a new fiber-based technology for interlinings, Freudenberg has come up with yet another milestone in the evolution of interlinings for men’s clothing. The first sample products featuring this new technology, which entirely does without textured yarns, can be admired by visitors to the world premiere at the Munich Fabric Start from 6 to 8 September at Freudenberg’s stand (A20, Hall 2). The company Création Gross will be supporting the market launch with top-quality exhibits as Freudenberg’s exclusive partner in Germany.
With its innovative fiber-based technology for interlinings, Freudenberg has responded to the ongoing trend within the clothing industry towards progressively enhanced quality, sustainable utilization of raw materials, and therefore a correspondingly improved price-performance ratio. “Soft, natural support, elastic, and eco-friendly”, are the core attributes succinctly summarized by Ulrich Scherbel, Director Business Development Menswear and Business Segment Leader Interlining Europe. These new fusible interlinings are being manufactured on the basis of a dually patented process and are surpassing current woven and knitted fabrics made of textured polyester in terms of softness, handle and elasticity. This new generation of interlinings is made from recycled polyester fibers, is 20% lighter than the previous products, but with the same technical characteristics! For the clothing industry, intelligent raw material utilization and an efficient production process show up in substantial technical and cost advantages.
Création Gross, one of the most progressive men’s wear companies in Germany, is testing out the new technology as Freudenberg’s exclusive partner for utilization and marketing. At the Munich Fabric Start, Création Gross and Freudenberg will be exhibiting Freudenberg’s new generation for interlinings with samples from the current collection.
