Cirql x Frasson
Cirql, a Vietnam-based company focused on creating scalable and eco-conscious midsole materials for footwear, has entered into a strategic partnership with Frasson, an Italian expert in supercritical foaming and injection moulding for shoe components.
Through this collaboration, Cirql will offer European footwear brands its recycled polymer (rTPU) technology, designed for high-performance midsoles and outsoles with a lower environmental impact.
Frasson will act as Cirql’s official manufacturing and development partner in the EU, playing a crucial role in bringing sustainable midsole and outsole solutions to European footwear brands.
“This collaboration marks an important step for Cirql as we grow our presence in Europe,” said Matt Thwaites, Vice President and General Manager at Cirql. “Frasson’s advanced know-how in foaming and injection processes aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver sustainable, innovative products to global footwear brands.”
