Green Theme Technologies’ EMPEL to Deliver Textile Performance, Sustainability in Japan

Green Theme Technologies (GTT), the creators of a PFAS- and water-free EMPEL textile finishing platform, announced that it is now delivering advanced performance and a longterm sustainability solution to the Japanese market.

EMPEL offers an unmatched solution to hep textile mills provide clean, high-performance finishes. GTT actively promotes this technology to all relevant Japanese companies, including mills, manufacturers and brands. Of note, zipper manufacturer YKK has already adopted the EMPEL technology as part of its manufacturing process, and is promoting the technology worldwide as part of its DynaPel collection.

GTT’s activities in Japan are supported by Japan’s External Trade Organization (JETRO), a government-related organization that works to promote mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world. GTT has been approved for JETRO’s “Invest Japan” Support Program, which allows GTT to leverage resources to set up a future office in Japan and for the J-Bridge Program to forge relationships with prospective Japanese partners.

“Japan’s textile market is a place of innovation and quality. Japanese mills understand that innovation is the path to keep their companies growing and competitive in the future,” said Martin Flora, President of Business Development, GTT. “EMPEL is a natural choice for any textile manufacturer looking to provide clean, high performance textile solutions for water repellency, stain resistance and anti-wicking properties. We appreciate the support from JETRO in connecting us to the Japanese textile and fashion industries.”

Green Theme representatives will be visiting Japan, February 26-March 1, to meet with new and prospective mill partners. Innovative Japanese brands and mills interested in planning a meeting can contact Martin Flora at martin.flora@greenthemetech.com.
