Flocus expands into India with revolutionary fibre & call for partners

Since 2017, Flocus has held the world’s only patent for spinning kapok and producing nonwoven materials, transforming this once-forgotten stuffing fibre into a modern, industrially viable ingredient for textiles. With a presence across Europe and Asia, the company is now expanding into the Indian market, seeking partners ready to join its mission to revolutionise sustainable fibres.

Flocus has been part of the textile industry for nearly a decade, bridging tradition with innovation. By introducing automation into kapok processing and securing OEKO-TEX certification, the company has built a supply chain that is not only ethical and traceable but also scalable. Today, Flocus supplies fibres, yarns, fabrics, and nonwovens, guiding clients through every tier of the textile value chain.

The entry into India represents both an opportunity and a challenge. India’s dynamic textile sector is a natural match for kapok, offering scale, technical expertise, and a growing demand for sustainable solutions. Flocus is inviting local spinners, manufacturers, and brands to collaborate, contribute, and grow alongside the company as it develops a new chapter of kapok’s story in South Asia.

“Our patent gave us the tools to bring kapok into the modern textile market,” said Sara Cicognani, Founder and CCO of Flocus. “Now, India offers us the scale and creativity to make kapok a truly global fibre. We are looking for partners who want to be part of this journey—partners who share our vision of a sustainable industry rooted in innovation and ethics.”

By entering India, Flocus aims to ensure that kapok becomes not an elite, niche material, but a widely accessible solution for a textile industry ready to embrace the future.
