CELYS expands filament manufacturing capability

This expanded capability addresses a recurring challenge faced by brands, mills, and innovators: limited access to flexible production volumes and technical customisation during the development phase. Conventional polyester manufacturing is typically optimised for large scale output and high minimum order quantities, leaving little room for small order volumes, iterative trials, or application specific specifications. The new CELYS manufacturing line is designed to close this gap.

Enabling Development and Filament Innovation

The newly acquired manufacturing line enables Celys to support smaller order quantities and customised filament specifications, allowing partners to move efficiently from concept to validation. Designed for development, sampling, and specialised applications, this capability delivers the precision and responsiveness required during early-stage material innovation, while enabling closer collaboration on filament parameters, functional requirements, and performance optimisation.

These advances mark Celys’ evolution from a single material innovation to a more flexible material platform, designed to integrate seamlessly into existing textile ecosystems while enabling greater agility at the front end of development.

Building the Foundation for Transparency

Alongside the expansion of manufacturing capability, Celys is progressing toward the release of Life Cycle Assessment data. Additional technical specifications and performance metrics are also in development, providing partners with greater transparency and confidence as projects advance toward commercialisation.

“Our focus extends beyond material innovation to building the infrastructure required for adoption at scale,” said Dr Gray Li, Chief Technology Officer at Celys. “This manufacturing capability enables closer collaboration, increased flexibility, and more practical pathways from development to commercial products.”
