"HeiQ is improving the lives of billions of people by adding functionalities to all kinds of textile materials.
HeiQ is a Swiss based company providing world class technology that adds functionality to textiles, offering benefits such as improved cooling or warming, water repellence, odour prevention, air purification and antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal protection. With the size of the global textile chemical market estimated at $25bn, HeiQ has a large addressable market, with plenty of growth potential. Across its various technologies, HeiQ now serves over 300 household brands, including IKEA, M&S, Burberry and even Cornelia James, supplier of gloves to Her Majesty the Queen.
HeiQ’s Viroblock technology, introduced in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been a game changer for the company. The product is an antiviral and antibacterial agent suitable for a wide range of textiles and its use in a variety of medical wear products, including protective face masks and surgical gowns, has dramatically raised the profile of the company and opened up a whole host of new customer acquisition opportunities."
