HeiQ listed among the 50 best companies in the world

HeiQ Materials AG has been touted as “your innovation partner for textiles” in a company profile by “The Silicon Review”. The article was written to mark the fact that the magazine has included HeiQ on its “50 Companies to Watch 2020” list, which covers the 50 best and most interesting companies around the world for this year.

HeiQ is a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) that specializes in textiles technology. The article covers a new technology developed by HeiQ that protects textiles against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. HeiQ is working with a series of partner firms in order to treat face masks and PPE for doctors with its new viral protection.

The magazine editors look back on the history of HeiQ, describing the company as “a pioneer in textile innovation” since being founded in 2005. The article explains how HeiQ’s core business activities are focused on conducting joint research and development projects with consumer brands from the textiles industry and textiles finishing producers with the aim of achieving effects that are not currently available on the market or that have not been optimized for certain products.
