Customer success: Texible

Due to the demanding curves of insoles, Texible required a durable metal fiber yarn offering a high level of flexibility and longevity. Furthermore, Texible's production process utilizes a sewing technique via shuttle embroidery machines requiring smooth sewing yarn for improved efficiency and a high-quality output.

The challenge

In terms of smart textile technology, conductivity and durability were big concerns for Texible. Additionally, the product must withstand regular bending, possible corrosion, and hundreds of industrial washes.

Bekaert utilized a polyester wrapped stainless steel yarn that is both compatible with shuttle embroidery and meets the conductive needs.
