Supreme Corporation and VOLT Smart Yarns received the Show Stopper award for innovative excellence at the 2017 Industrial Fabric Association International (“IFAI”) Conference held September 26-29, 2017, in New Orleans. Supreme Corporation took first place in the Fabrics, Fibers & Films category for showcasing the VOLT Smart Yarns capabilities as a leader of high-tech, innovative textiles.
“We are incredibly pleased to be chosen as a winner of the Show Stopper award,” said Matt Kolmes, CEO of Supreme Corporation. “This award reflects a great deal of hard work as we strive to deliver high quality products that further push the envelope on what is possible in smart fabrics and yarns.”
In its sixth year, the IFAI’s Show Stopper competition recognizes the “best of the best” leaders in the industry, from fabrics, equipment and chemicals, to service and end products. Exhibitors at the IFAI Expo submitted entries of new and revolutionary products/services that were displayed on the show floor, and judged by a committee of industry experts. Supreme Corporation partnered with Pressure Profile Systems, Inc. (“PPS”), to exhibit a cutting-edge smart protective vest, SmartVest, that utilizes VOLT Smart Yarns to transmit information wirelessly, in real-time.
“Exhibiting at IFAI and sponsoring the Smart Fabrics Workshop was a great experience to showcase the tremendous growth we are achieving in Smart Textiles,” said Kolmes. “The energy on the showroom floor, watching the kits get assembled into working prototypes and witnessing the level of innovation among our competitors was exciting.”
