Its products are oriented toward brands and manufacturers in the footwear and related apparel sectors seeking sustainable wool-based materials. Recent developments include the Easy-Fit concept, announced in March 2023 to simplify putting on and taking off shoes, and the Eco Slides line with seaweed soles introduced in 2022.
