Quantum’s Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities Drives Continuous
Expansion of Innegra™ Products
In 2022, Quantum Materials, a leading manufacturer of multifilament and monofilament yarns, elastomeric woven suspension fabrics, and industrial textiles, made a significant move by acquiring the Innegra™ portfolio of patented high-performance fibers and materials. Previously, Quantum had been the exclusive manufacturer of Innegra yarns, with Innegra responsible for sales and distribution. With over 15 years of success in delivering innovative solutions, this acquisition has empowered Quantum to accelerate its research and development endeavors for the Innegra brand of products. As a result, Quantum has swiftly expanded its product offerings, further solidifying its position as a dynamic force in the industry. We look forward to continuing to build our solution-based product portfolio.
Innegra is a multifilament, olefin-based fiber designed to meet diverse application needs. Available in various product configurations, Innegra is renowned for its excellent energy dissipation, significant weight reduction, and robust performance characteristics.
