LifeLabs, Shinhan to scale temperature-regulating fabric

LifeLabs has partnered with Shinhan, a woven fabric mill known for producing technical textiles used in outdoor and activewear. Under this agreement, Shinhan will act as a key production partner for LifeLabs’ WarmLife fabric. This collaboration will help expand LifeLabs’ business-to-business platform and improve its ability to serve global apparel brands.

WarmLife technology uses a patented metallic nano-layer that reflects body heat back toward the skin. This allows garments to provide better warmth while remaining lightweight and less bulky. By combining this technology with Shinhan’s experience in advanced woven fabrics, both companies aim to strengthen production capabilities and expand market reach.

Sophia Ou, CEO and co-founder of LifeLabs, said that Shinhan’s strong expertise in technical fabric development and its reputation for quality make it an ideal partner. She added that this collaboration will help bring lightweight and efficient thermal fabrics to more brands worldwide.

JH Lee, CEO of Shinhan, stated that the company is focused on future developments in performance textiles. He said that WarmLife offers a new approach to thermal comfort, and the partnership will help deliver high-quality and advanced fabric solutions to global brands.
