Weaving a new product for Lurex®
Exploring the possibilities when Lurex® meets LU meets carbon fibre








Kit Blake - Managing Director“it is difficult to break into new markets, where people are used to working in a very technical and performance-oriented environment. Lurex® is a purely visual enhancement product and the people who work on carbon fibre developments don’t think of the potential visual appeal of their products. Without the work carried out by Kerry Walton, to physically show these people what is possible, we would have seriously struggled to break into this new market. The SING program helped in two ways: it made the risk of funding a speculative action more attractive and it also sourced the right resource to make the development possible. We now have two carbon fibre weavers in the UK actively working with us on new product developments. It has been a very positive program for us, for which I am very grateful.”
