R&D in action: The AdC laboratory as a driver of innovation in sustainable manufacturing
At Artesana de Clofent S.A. (AdC), innovation is a fundamental pillar that has allowed us to lead the technical textile industry and drive our commitment to sustainable manufacturing for more than 70 years. But this innovation is not just a promise, it is an ongoing process that takes place day after day in our own research and development (R&D) laboratory.
We have a highly specialized team and well-equipped facilities to develop new products, improve existing ones and adapt our solutions to the most demanding needs of our customers. The AdC lab is not only a place where we experiment with new formulas, but it is also a space where we turn ideas into tangible solutions.
Innovation applied to every fabric
AdC ‘s R&D lab is the heart of our creative process. Here, our textile experts work tirelessly to develop fabrics with specific characteristics, whether technical, comfort or performance. This allows us to offer solutions that meet the highest quality standards and meet the particular needs of sectors as diverse as functional fashion, orthopedics, personal protective equipment (PPE) and sports.
Every project in the lab starts with a real need: a technical challenge or a customer desire that pushes us to innovate. From improving the elasticity of a fabric to creating more resistant or breathable materials, each step is a step forward in the pursuit of technical perfection. This allows us to offer certified products that meet the highest quality standards.
R&D for sustainable products
At Artesana de Clofent, we understand that innovation must also go hand in hand with sustainable manufacturing. In our R+D laboratory, we not only seek technical excellence, but also new ways of making products that are more environmentally friendly. Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of our production.
Research in the lab also focuses on cleaner technologies and more sustainable manufacturing processes. This allows us to create products that not only meet the strictest standards, but also contribute to a greener and more responsible future.
State-of-the-art technologies and processes
At AdC, continuous improvement of our processes is a priority. We have a laboratory equipped with specialized technology that allows us to carry out precise tests and ensure the quality of our products at every stage of development.
We are constantly working to optimise our production processes to be more agile, efficient and able to adapt to the specific needs of each client. This attention to detail and technical evolution allows us to maintain a high level of competitiveness and continue to advance in a sector in permanent transformation.
Strategic collaborations and R&D projects
Innovation is not an isolated effort. At Artesana de Clofent, we work closely with academic institutions and research centers to carry out joint R&D projects that allow us to access the latest trends and emerging technologies. These collaborations are a critical part of our innovative approach, allowing us to share knowledge, leverage the strengths of other experts in the field, and reinforce our commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
The Future of Innovation in AdC
Looking to the future, our R&D lab will continue to drive constant innovation at Clofent Artisana. We know that the textile industry is constantly evolving and that the needs of our customers are too. That’s why we will continue to invest in new technologies, in the continuous training of our team and in the development of innovative products that make a difference.
From creating new fabrics to optimizing processes, every step we take in the lab is a reflection of our commitment to quality, sustainability, and excellence.
