Dimpora has joined ITMF as corporate member. Based in Switzerland, Dimpora is an award-winning materials start-up that reconciles performance clothing and sustainability by developing non-toxic, waterproof and highly breathable membranes.

Its patented technology platform relies on scientific expertise and continuous innovation to empower people to enjoy nature without leaving a trace. Since it is important for start-ups and scale-ups to be affiliated with organisations whose members are serving international markets and have an excellent knowledge of the global market structures and the potential regional and global demand, Dimpora felt ITMF would be an attractive platform to be an active part of and at the same time could help Dimpora connect with mature companies that know the markets very well. And from ITMF’s point of view start-ups bring a new perspective to existing challenges and offer new solutions applying new technologies. This interaction would be beneficial for everyone involved and help the textile industry to identify new technologies that can help overcome challenges.

Founded in 1904, ITMF (International Textile Manufacturers Federation) is the international forum of the global textile value chain for producers of fiber to finished products. Its members are from textile and apparel-producing countries representing approximately 90 per cent of global production.In addition, ITMF offers its members information that helps better understand the dynamics of the industry.
