Sonovia’s fabric-finishing technology allows brands to sustainably incorporate long-lasting, built-in properties such as antimicrobial and anti-odour protection and water repellency to textiles, while maintaining superior fabric performance.
The company’s solution embeds particles, compounds, and molecules of desired properties directly into textiles, creating a durable, added-value fabric that retains its properties through multiple washes.
Sonovia and its machinery manufacturing partner, Brückner Textile Machinery, will install the applicator at Delta Galil’s Karmiel site.
“Sonovia’s ultrasonic technology is the future of high-performance and sustainable fabric finishing,” says Gil Shimon, president of global upper markets division for Delta Galil. “This partnership enables us to take another step toward fully sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing and we’re extremely pleased to be able to offer our activewear and apparel clients this innovative option for imparting beneficial properties into their garments.”
