• Embroidery backings, films, and other accessories

Product innovation:

Embroidery threads for technical and decorative applications

HC – highly conductive threads:
Fully silver-plated polyamide thread for optimal conductivity and flexible geometries in the area of smart textiles. Actuators, sensors, or LEDs can thus be contacted via embroidering, clamping, or gluing. Depending on the type of embroidery seam, nominal resistances can be adjusted to the function of the e-textiles.

CR – smooth-running metallic thread:
Easy to use machine thread for decorative embroidery designs. It features high abrasion resistance and can be washed at high temperatures. CR can be used for machine embroidering without any adjustments and is certified under the OEKO-TEX standard 100, product class I.
