What Twine Solutions does

Twine Solutions is an Israeli textile-technology company that developed the TwineX1, a compact (under-13-foot) digital waterless yarn and thread dyeing system designed to replace conventional dye baths at the production floor. The system is positioned to enable on-demand, localized color production that reduces water consumption, eliminates effluent from dye baths, and shortens textile supply chains by supporting reshoring. The company serves three primary customer segments: fashion brands (under the reshoring narrative), textile research institutions, and commercial textile producers. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of TwineX1 systems, distributed via channel partnerships — notably Henderson Sewing Machine Co. in the United States — and direct institutional sales such as the first commercial delivery to TITV in Germany.

Founded around 2017, Twine raised approximately $22 million in 2018 (led by Maverick Ventures Israel and New Era Capital Partners, with strategic participation from Coats plc and HP Tech Ventures) and approximately $28 million in 2021 (led by Meitav Investment House and Menora Mivtachim). In September 2025, Steakholder Foods signed an agreement to acquire Twine, completing the deal in November 2025; Twine now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, with its former shareholders holding a minority stake in Steakholder Foods that can increase to 35% on milestone achievement. The acquisition is positioned as the foundation for a combined digital manufacturing platform spanning 3D food printing and digital textile dyeing.
