Carl Illi, Präsident Swiss Textiles

Swiss businesses in the textiles industry operate at the interface between creativity and technology – this is unique and offers a broad scope of potential.

Textiles are the material of the future

No other material has such a wide range of properties. Whether in medicine, sports, mobility, architecture or new innovative clothing concepts - there are no limits to the applications. The aim is always to create added value and drive new innovative developments with the use of textile materials.
