LOXY

What LOXY does

LOXY is a Norwegian-headquartered manufacturer of specialized textile components for the global workwear, sportswear, and medical textile industries. Founded in 1970 as Sto-Nor Industri AS and rebranded to LOXY in 2015, the company operates five product sub-brands: LOXY SEAL (seam sealing tapes in single-, two-, and three-layer formats for waterproof garments), LOXY REX (retro-reflective tapes using high-index glass-bead technology meeting EN ISO 20471 and EN 469 standards), LOXY BONDING (TPU hotmelt films for seamless garment construction), LOXY PRINT (heat transfer logos and patterns), and LOXY Films & Foils (TPU films including medical-grade variants). The company's core technical differentiation rests on proprietary retro-reflective glass-bead technology, multilayer blown-film TPU extrusion (2-, 3-, and 5-layer co-extrusion), and ISO class 8 clean-room production for medical films, located at a 10,000 sqm facility in Kumla, Sweden.

LOXY is positioned by its own materials as the largest global producer and distributor of seam sealing tape and reflective tape, with 65+ catalog products and 55+ years of operational history. The company sells primarily through an enterprise field-sales model with dedicated regional account managers across Europe and Asia-Pacific (including sales offices in Norway, Sweden, Poland, Germany, China, Hong Kong, the United States, Vietnam, Singapore, and Bangladesh), supplemented by an e-commerce platform (LOXY Logo Shop) for heat-transfer print orders and direct B2C sales of ready-to-wear hi-vis garments. Manufacturing is conducted at wholly-owned subsidiaries in Sweden, Poland, and China. The customer base spans enterprise garment manufacturers (Helly Hansen since 1991, Under Armour, BMW service divisions, Löffler Sportswear) across workwear, sportswear, protective apparel, and medical device end-markets, with revenue generated through hardware sales (component materials priced per unit with custom specifications quoted separately) and transactional fees on the Logo Shop platform.

The business is privately held by the Nordli family, with no external institutional or private-equity ownership identified. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. A planned leadership transition effective January 1, 2026 will move Petter Nordli from COO to CEO while founder-family member Stig Nordli transitions to COO, signaling continued family control alongside management professionalization.
