Infinited Fiber Company

What Infinited Fiber Company does

Infinited Fiber Company is a Finnish materials technology company founded in 2016 that has developed a patented cellulose carbamate process for converting cotton-rich textile waste into a virgin-quality regenerated fiber branded Infinna. The technology takes discarded garments, bedding, and other cellulose-rich feedstocks through sorting, purification of cellulose, a urea-based carbamation reaction, and wet-spinning into new fiber, using animal-feed-grade urea instead of the organic solvents or hazardous chemicals (such as carbon disulfide) common in viscose production. The resulting fiber matches the soft, natural look and feel of cotton, is biodegradable, contains no microplastics, and can be re-recycled at end of life alongside other textile waste. Pilot facilities in Espoo and Valkeakoski (combined 150 metric tons/year) validate the process today, while a planned flagship factory at the former Stora Enso Veitsiluoto paper mill site in Kemi, Finland, is designed for 30,000 metric tons/year (roughly the fiber needed for 100 million T-shirts) at an estimated EUR 400 million investment.

The company sells Infinna as a B2B material input to global fashion and apparel brands through multi-year offtake agreements rather than direct-to-consumer channels. Confirmed customers and partners include Inditex (Zara), Patagonia, H&M Group, adidas, BESTSELLER brands such as JACK & JONES, Zalando, PVH Europe (Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein), PANGAIA, GANNI, Lindex, Reima, and Youngone and Goldwin, most of whom are also equity investors. Major products launched from this base include the Zara Infinna capsule (May 2022), PANGAIA 100% Infinna shirts (April 2022), Tommy Hilfiger T-shirts (August 2022), JACK & JONES Glenn Evan jeans (April 2023) and JPSTKARL cargo pants (September 2024), and the Reima Uudesti kids' hoodie (August 2023). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and most future flagship-factory output is contractually pre-sold for several years ahead.

The business model combines direct Infinna fiber sales under long-term offtake contracts with a stated longer-term plan to license Infinna production technology to third parties, targeting 500,000 tons of annual capacity by 2030 via a mix of owned and licensed plants in Europe and Asia. Revenue today is effectively pre-commercial because the flagship Kemi plant's first commercial deliveries have been rescheduled to January 2026, with an intermediate Circular Fiber Center (200 t/a) planned as a de-risking step. The company is private, venture-backed by strategic apparel and textile corporate investors (H&M Group, Inditex, TTY Management, adidas, BESTSELLER, Zalando, Sateri, Youngone, Goldwin and others), and incorporated in Finland, with a wholly-owned subsidiary Infinited Fiber Kemi Oy responsible for the flagship factory investment.

Core offering

Infinited Fiber Company manufactures and sells Infinna, a virgin-quality regenerated textile fiber made 100% from cotton-rich textile waste using a patented cellulose carbamate process. The fiber is sold B2B to global fashion and apparel brands, who integrate it (alone or blended) into yarns and fabrics for garments such as denim, jersey, French terry, and wovens. The company also plans to license its Infinna production technology to enable additional factory capacity globally.

Product overview

Infinited Fiber Company is a Finnish textile technology company offering a single core product: Infinna, a premium-quality circular textile fiber regenerated 100% from cotton-rich textile waste. The company operates R&D and pilot facilities in Espoo and Valkeakoski, Finland, and is scaling up through a phased approach: a small-scale Circular Fiber Center (200 t/a) as an intermediate step, followed by a flagship commercial factory in Kemi (30,000 t/a capacity). Infinna is sold directly to fashion brands as a material input for their garment production, not as a consumer product. The product portfolio also includes technology licensing partnerships for future factory deployment.
