Direct peers

• HeiQ Materials: Swiss specialty textile technology company with proprietary antimicrobial, moisture management and cooling technologies licensed to global apparel brands. HeiQ is iFabric's closest direct competitor in functional textile chemistry and brand licensing model.
• Polygiene Group: Swedish antimicrobial textile treatments company (Odor Control, ViralOff, BioMaster) that licenses chemistries to apparel and consumer brands globally. Directly comparable to iFabric's PROTX2 and bioTX antimicrobial licensing business with similar royalty model and end-market focus.
• Sciessent: U.S.-based antimicrobial and odor-control textile technology provider (formerly Agion), supplying brands and manufacturers with EPA-registered silver-based and quaternary ammonium treatments. Directly competes with iFabric's PROTX2 in the performance apparel and healthcare textile segments.
• Microban International: Global antimicrobial and odor-control technology company providing built-in protection treatments for textiles, consumer products and building materials. Comparable to iFabric's EPA-registered antimicrobial chemistries and broad licensing approach across consumer categories.
