Walmart and Unspun collaborate on 3D weaving
18/03/2024
The companies will explore how Unspun’s 3D weaving machines can be used to make workwear style pants under a Walmart house brand. With 3D weaving, yarn is spun directly into completed garments.
Unspun, in collaboration with a manufacturing partner, hopes to ultimately deploy additional microsites around the US. The ambition is to have 350 machines by 2030.
Beth Esponnette, co-founder of Unspun, said: “We have been running low-volume production of commercial products at our first micro factory with proven third-party life cycle assessments to back the impact of this new type of production. Now, together with Walmart, we see an enormous opportunity to take our innovations to scale.”
