Getzner Textil AG, global leaders in technical textiles made for a wide range of applications, is proud to announce the launch of their new getzspace® three-dimensional weaving technology.

Set to revolutionize how performance and protective apparel is made, getzspace® will allow brands to create next generation technical clothing by reducing the need for seams in pockets and reinforcements. New garments made with the getzspace® technique will be more comfortable and more durable, all while reducing waste from the cut-and-sew process.

“With over 200 years of experience creating textiles for everything from African fashion and workwear to soundproofing and materials for hot air ballooning, Getzner is set to help revolutionize how technical woven textiles are produced,” said Lukas Berthold, Getzner Sales Manager for North America. “By reducing the need for seams and stitching on pockets and reinforcements, apparel using the getzspace® process will be even more durable and comfortable, all while allowing for new design possibilities.”

getzspace® works by enabling three-dimensional structures such as pockets and reinforcements to be integrated directly into the textile surface, without the need for seams and stitching. The result is high-performance textiles with low weight and high resilience, opening up new possibilities for the design and functionality of modern performance and protective workwear.

Getzner will also present a wide selection of other fabrics during Functional Fabric Fair, underscoring the diversity of their product line and high standard of functionality, comfort, and safety, all developed through decades of textile manufacturing resource-efficient production processes in Europe.
