filium®

OUR STORY

After 50 years of design, manufacture, and distribution of sportswear and uniform apparel, it was time to shift the pendulum of the textile world.

Recognizing the dangers posed by synthetic microfibers to both the human body and the environment, we have spent the past eight years developing an eco-friendly material technology to transform “natural fabrics” into performance fabrics.

Filium®’s proprietary technology was launched in the apparel market in 2016 and validated by our in-house brands.

Filium® has proven to be commercially viable and, for the first time ever, being licensed to partners all over the world.
