FILIUM’S STORY

OUR STORY, PURPOSE, AND VALUES

Following more than fifty years in the apparel industry, and after seeing firsthand the toll traditional textile manufacturing can take on human health and the environment, Filium founder Raj Shah was inspired to challenge the status quo and redefine performance apparel. Grounded in decades of textile engineering expertise and the latest advances in material science, Filium is changing how fabrics are made, how they perform, and how they feel.

Filium Activated products feature PFAS-free, 4-in-1 technology that helps keep wearers dry, stain-free, fresh, and, above all, comfortable. Performance is only part of our story. Powered by AI and more than a decade of testing data, Filium is building smarter processes across R&D, supply-chain analysis, product deployment, customer feedback, and operations. This AI-enabled approach also supports the vision of a smarter mill: one that measures performance, environmental impact, and wellness outcomes with greater precision as the industry moves toward a PFAS-free future. Built by a diverse leadership team, Filium’s award-winning approach combines superior science with environmental leadership: reducing water use, lowering energy demand, extending product durability, and supporting wellness for everyone. Filium delivers innovation that works with every fabric and performance that resonates with every community.

At our core, we believe that high-performance textiles should never come at the expense of people or the planet. By enhancing natural and synthetic fabrics with advanced chemistry, we help extend product life, reduce environmental impact, and support a more circular future. Through worldwide partnerships with mills and industry leaders, and in commitments like our Climate Pledge partnership, we aim to accelerate sustainable innovation and contribute to meaningful climate action.
