Advancing material science through U.S. and global partnerships

Established in the United States in 2012, our R&D brings together collaborations with universities, national laboratories, and industry partners in more than twenty states—linking American scientific innovation with global health and development goals. These partnerships enable us to refine materials, test new approaches, and draw on expertise across entomology, polymer science, and textile engineering.

We also collaborate internationally, including with research institutions in Switzerland, to explore advanced processing techniques and manufacturing innovations. Together, these efforts drive the development of next-generation solutions—such as improved yarn structures and new coating methods—ensuring our products are safe, scalable, and ready for real-world application.

We engineer innovative fabrics and materials that are safe and effective

    For global health

    We develop tools to prevent life-threatening diseases like malaria, particularly in settings where resources are limited and needs are urgent.

    For agriculture & food security

    Our products protect harvested crops from pests and post-harvest loss—from smallholder farms to large-scale production systems.

We innovate with the end user in mind

We test and adjust our approach and materials based on field experience. Whether it's an insecticidal mosquito net designed to last through repeated use, or a crop protection tool to support US farms facing pest pressure, our goal is to make solutions that work for the people who use them.
