Global leader of high-quality Nylon 6.6 for apparel and owner of the SENSIL® sustainable consumer brand, NILIT has announced organizational changes that reinforce the company’s commitment to leading the textile and apparel industry to a more sustainable position in global marketplace. Sagee Aran will lead product development and commercialization initiatives while Michelle Lea will direct worldwide marketing program.

As Chief Innovation and Sustainability Officer, Aran will continue to expand the SENSIL® portfolio with environmentally responsible, value-added performance and fashion products and drive implementation through partnerships with mills, brands, and retailers. In her new role as Vice President of Global Marketing, Michelle Lea will connect the SENSIL® portfolio to conscious consumers through the brands and retailers they support.

NILIT recently launched multiple premium Nylon products in the SENSIL® portfolio. SENSIL® BioCare is specially engineered to decompose quickly in the anaerobic conditions in water and landfills, positively affecting the persistence of textile waste, especially in oceans. Sensil® WaterCare eliminates 100% of the water, chemicals, energy, and pollution risk associated with traditional textile dyeing wet processing.
