Innovating first-grade textiles
Our success is based on the ability to manufacture fabrics that combine technical properties with innovative ideas. We work closely with suppliers and customers, combining their knowledge with our skills and creativity in order to ensure that high grade fabrics are brought to the market.
FOV is continuously looking at strengthen its’ sustainability and resilience abilities as a company. Currently FOV is looking at developing its’ production processes where focus is on transforming wet processes into dry. The purpose of this is to get a more cost effective, less energy consuming and more environmental friendly production that is better suited to meet today’s and future market requirements. On the material side FOV’s focus is on circularity whereby FOV is striving to only develop and manufacture recyclable products.
