Supreme Corporation has been chosen for the Show Stopper award for innovative excellence at the 2017 Industrial Fabric Association International (IFAI) Conference in New Orleans. Supreme Corporation took first place in the Fabrics, Fibres and Films category for showcasing the Volt Smart Yarns capabilities as a leader of high-tech, innovative textiles.

The conference was held during September 26-29, 2017.

“We are incredibly pleased to be chosen as a winner of the Show Stopper award,” said Matt Kolmes, CEO of Supreme Corporation. “This award reflects a great deal of hard work as we strive to deliver high quality products that further push the envelope on what is possible in smart fabrics and yarns.”

In its sixth year, the IFAI’s Show Stopper competition recognises the “best of the best” leaders in the industry, from fabrics, equipment and chemicals, to service and end products. Exhibitors at the IFAI Expo submitted entries of new and revolutionary products/services that were displayed on the show floor, and judged by a committee of industry experts. Supreme Corporation partnered with Pressure Profile Systems to exhibit a cutting-edge smart protective vest, SmartVest, that utilises Volt Smart Yarns to transmit information wirelessly, in real-time.

“Exhibiting at IFAI and sponsoring the Smart Fabrics Workshop was a great experience to showcase the tremendous growth we are achieving in Smart Textiles,” said Kolmes. “The energy on the showroom floor, watching the kits get assembled into working prototypes and witnessing the level of innovation among our competitors was exciting.”

Recently introduced under the Supreme Corporation portfolio of innovative products, Volt Smart Yarns performs with high levels of conductivity that had not previously been achieved. When woven into fabric, Volt Smart Yarns is transforming the smart clothing industry as the only yarn capable of sending power and signals, further enhancing the capabilities of its wearers. (SV)
