About us

HIGH-QUALITY, SPECIALTY, HIGH-TECH TEXTILES AND NICHE PRODUCTS good practice in the development of textile-clothing sector, examples from the Lodz Region in co-operation with the Technical University of Lodz - Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design „Policy Learning to Unlock Skills in the TEXtile sector” - PLUSTEX

Textile-clothing industry in Poland concentrates in several textile centres, most important of which is Lodz region. .

• The strength of european textile-clothing sector (including Polish industry)

results from the high quality of its products and let us be optimistic as to its future.

• Further development of the sector depends on implementing high-quality,

specialty, high-tech textiles and niche products.

• To achieve that aim it is necessary to intensify cooperation between

research centres and industry. „Policy Learning to Unlock Skills in the TEXtile sector” - PLUSTEX

In the Lodz Region lots of advanced products,

• ften addressed to niche recipients

have been worked out thanks to effecive cooperation between research units and companies. Here are some of the good practices in that area: Selected projects realized at Technical University of Lodz within consortia created by the Advanced Technologies Centre of Human Friendly Textiles PRO HUMANO TEX „Policy Learning to Unlock Skills in theTEXtile sector” - PLUSTEX

Projekt współfinansowany ze środków Europejskiego Funduszu Rozwoju Regionalnego

• ”A firefighter suit of new generation with a

textronic system monitoring physiological parameters”- the first prototype of textronic clothing in Poland was created (research is now continued within the project FIREGUARD 2015)

Biogratex”- Biodegradable fibrous products

Seamless compression knitted fabrics, produced in „High Tech” technology:

compression hosiery products compression products used in burn scars therapy, Protective bands for sportsmen

The specific property of clothing used in compression therapy is exerting pressure on the patient's body. Compression therapy is based on the assumption that pressure decreases the amount of collagen emitted during the formation of scar tissue, preventing the formation of thick, hypertrophic scars
