Star Metro - iFabric Corp. Announces Expansion of PROTX2 Technology into the UK and EU; Marks & Spencer to Adopt for Autograph Collections

iFabric's Intelligent Fabric Technologies Division will now support EU and UK production programs incorporating PROTX2. This expansion marks a strategic shift beyond the company's longstanding North American focus and underscores growing global demand for performance-enhanced fabrics.

"We are truly excited to be working with such an iconic retailer as Marks & Spencer," said Giancarlo Beevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Intelligent Fabric Technologies. "Having PROTX2 featured in their Autograph collection signals an important milestone in bringing our innovation to discerning European consumers."

"Expanding out of North American brands is a key growth strategy for iFabric, and today's announcement represents a pivotal step in achieving that goal," Beevis added. "The visibility of the PROTX2 brand on hang tags, both in store and online, will reinforce our presence across new regional markets," he concluded.
