Fulgar
Fulgar will present its latest innovations at Techtextil Frankfurt 2026, taking place from April 21 to 24 at Messe Frankfurt. The company will highlight its developments through collaborations with its strategic partners like Impetus Group and BASF. These collaborations reflect Fulgar’s approach of combining advanced material development with practical use in technical textiles.
The partnership with Impetus Group introduces a new workwear solution designed for demanding work environments. It combines wool with Q-Geo, Fulgar’s bio-based polyamide yarn with flame-retardant properties, offering a balance of safety, durability, and comfort.
At the same time, Fulgar’s collaboration with BASF highlights its focus on circularity. BASF will present various textile solutions, including loopamid, a technology that allows polyamide 6 to be fully recycled from textile waste. This material has already been used in products such as a jacket by Zara launched in 2024, a tracksuit by Adidas developed under the T-Rex project, and a T-shirt by Pompea made using Fulgar yarn with loopamid.
Through these partner-led presentations, Fulgar shows how it combines material innovation with application expertise to meet changing needs in the textile and fashion industries. The company continues to invest in research and development, expanding its range of sustainable yarns such as Q-Nova, Evo, Q-Cycle, and Q-Geo. These products support its presence across different sectors, including hosiery, circular knitting, sportswear, and technical textiles.
