Niber Technologies

What Niber Technologies does

Niber Technologies is a Singapore-headquartered materials science company that develops and manufactures PFAS-free electrospun nanofiber membranes for performance and protective textiles, with selected forays into medical, environmental, and automotive applications. Founded in 2019, the company employs 101–250 people and runs two wholly-owned production facilities in General Trias, Cavite (Philippines), with additional offices in Singapore (APAC HQ), Hong Kong (APAC sales), and Irvine, California (US applied innovation center). Co-founders Jaemin Park (CEO) and Jaehyung Park (COO/Co-CEO) lead the company alongside President and CSO Dr. Richard Beck, who joined in February 2026 from W.L. Gore & Associates after 25+ years leading GORE-TEX across Asia-Pacific.

The company's core technology is a multi-patented electrospinning platform that the company claims produces the fastest multilayered nanofiber membranes in the industry, with fiber diameters of 300–800 nm. Its IP portfolio (3+ granted patents) covers hybrid electrospinning, multi-polymer processing, and the production of 100% PFAS- and PFC-free polyurethane fibers. Products are organized into two textile lines — Consumer (outdoor, activewear, lifestyle, fashion) and Professional (firefighting, defense, workwear, law enforcement) — plus "Beyond" categories including electrospun compost covers and ventilation membranes. All PFAS-free laminates are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified.

Commercially, Niber operates a B2B enterprise field-sales motion, selling membrane materials directly to global apparel brands, mills, and converters in the waterproof breathable category, while layering in channel and co-development partnerships: Stedfast manufactures professional laminates incorporating Niber membranes for the protective-textile segment, and a February 2026 partnership with BASF combines Niber's electrospinning platform with BASF's Freeflex 1895A TPU polymers for next-generation apparel and industrial membranes. The company is venture-backed, having closed an undisclosed Pre-Series A in February 2025 (Foxmont Capital Partners, ADB Ventures) and a US$7 million Series A in August 2025 led by TNB Aura with Unison Capital participation; capital is being deployed to expand production capacity, accelerate R&D, and extend reach into healthcare and automotive end markets.

Core offering

Niber Technologies manufactures and sells PFAS-free electrospun nanofiber membranes and laminates for textile and industrial applications. Its product portfolio spans Consumer Textiles (outdoor, activewear, lifestyle, fashion, and sports apparel) and Professional Textiles (firefighting, defense, workwear, law enforcement), as well as Beyond applications such as electrospun compost covers for landfills and ventilation solutions. Underlying all products is a proprietary multi-patented electrospinning platform that produces 300-800 nm fiber membranes for waterproof, breathable, wind-resistant performance without PFAS or PFC chemicals.

Product overview

Niber Technologies offers a portfolio of PFAS-free nanofiber membrane products built on its proprietary electrospinning platform. The product portfolio spans two main textile lines (Consumer and Professional), plus Beyond categories (Compost Covers, Ventilation), supported by core technology (Electrospinning Platform, Laminate Innovations) and collaborative offerings (BASF Freeflex TPU Membranes). The Consumer line serves outdoor, activewear, and fashion brands, while the Professional line targets firefighting, defense, workwear, and first responders. All products leverage electrospun nanofiber architecture to deliver breathable, waterproof, wind-resistant performance without PFAS chemicals.

Direct peers

• W. L. Gore & Associates: Owner of the GORE-TEX brand and the dominant global supplier of waterproof breathable membranes for apparel and professional/protective applications. Directly competes with Niber across both consumer outdoor and defense/firefighting end markets, and is the principal incumbent that Niber's President previously led in Asia-Pacific.
• Toray Industries: Japanese advanced materials conglomerate with a major waterproof breathable membrane business (Entrant, Dermizax) serving global apparel brands. Competes with Niber in performance and outdoor textiles and brings comparable scale and polymer science capabilities.
• Teijin: Japanese materials company producing high-performance fibers, films, and membranes including waterproof breathable solutions for sportswear and protective applications. A direct competitor in technical textile membranes and a likely counterparty in PFAS-free requalification efforts.
• Polartec: Performance fabric manufacturer supplying knit and membrane-based textiles to global outdoor and activewear brands. Overlaps with Niber in the consumer apparel segment and represents a potential customer or channel partner for electrospun membrane integration.
• Sympatex Technologies: German developer of PTFE-free waterproof breathable membranes marketed as an eco-friendly alternative to GORE-TEX. One of the closest direct competitors to Niber's PFAS-free positioning in both apparel and protective segments.
• Hollingsworth & Vose: Manufacturer of nonwoven and filtration media for industrial, healthcare, and engineered applications. Overlaps with Niber's nonwoven membrane technology and is a relevant comparable in scaling electrospun or nanofiber media for filtration and specialty industrial uses.

Broad incumbents

• DSM (dsm-firmenich): Global materials science company with Dyneema ultra-high-performance fibers and bio-based performance materials serving apparel, automotive, and industrial markets. Competes broadly with Niber in advanced technical materials rather than head-to-head in waterproof breathable membranes.
• 3M: Diversified materials and filtration conglomerate with membrane, nonwoven, and protective product lines spanning industrial, healthcare, and consumer segments. A broad incumbent whose filtration and nonwoven businesses overlap with Niber's electrospun membrane technology.
• DuPont: Major materials company with Tyvek, Tychem, and other membrane and protective fabric lines used in construction, industrial, and protective apparel markets. Competes in the broader technical textiles space, particularly in professional and protective applications.

Emerging players

• P2i: UK-based emerging player specializing in nano-coating water-repellent finishes for electronics and textiles. Adjacent competitor pursuing PFAS-free performance through a different mechanism (liquid repellent nano-coating rather than electrospun membrane) targeting overlapping apparel customers.
