Alon Moshe, Twine's CEO and co-founder, commented: “It is with great pleasure that we announce and welcome our new investors to Twine as we continue our epic journey. The textile industry is in dire need of change that Twine profoundly addresses. We have recently expanded in two key regions, Europe and Asia, and are currently working on expanding to North America. We appreciate the trust of our shareholders and continue to work to disrupt the textile industry with a breakthrough technology that will enable brands to meet their sustainability goals given the negative impact of the current way of dyeing threads.”

Nir Moroz, Deputy CEO and Managing Director of Menora Mivtachim Insurance Division, commented: "Menora Mivtachim is proud to lead the investment in Twine, with an emphasis on companies that create real disruption. We are pleased to join the great management team led by Alon Moshe, as well as the company's respected list of investors.

The purpose is to diversify the investment portfolios of our insured and members to achieve a high return at low risk. "

Guy Mani, CIO Meitav Dash Provident & Pension Funds, said: "Meitav Dash chose to invest in Twine, which is in line with its investment strategy in ESG companies and the expansion of its technology portfolio. Beyond the attractive value proposition that the company brings with it, its revolutionary solution will help make one of the most polluting industries in the world cleaner. We believe in the management of the company and in its ability to carry out its business vision".

Noam Rokach, VP of Investments at Analyst, stated, “Twine, a company that relies on a team of knowledgeable and experienced people, offers an exceptional solution that strives to change the way the textile industry operates in the future."

Launched in 2015 by twin brothers, Alon and Erez Moshe, Twine digitally dyes raw or off-the-shelf, white polyester thread in any color and length for immediate use in sewing, knitting, and embroidery. Twine’s process is sustainable, uses no water, and reduces significant amounts of thread waste. Twine helps companies meet their sustainability goals, reduce thread waste, and cut costs.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI redefine textile processing

Making investment decisions in textile processing has become significantly more demanding. Increasing energy costs, a shortage of skilled labour and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are compelling companies to focus on technologies that deliver clear gains in efficiency and process reliability. This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.

Techtextil 2026: Between innovation pressure & market reality

From 21 to 24 April 2026, Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main will once again become the central meeting point for the international technical textiles and nonwovens industry.

He also outlines why innovation strength, integrated solutions and strategic positioning remain key to global competitiveness.

Smart Quality Control for Technical Textiles

In the end, what matters is the result: a filter that performs reliably, a membrane that remains stable in storm conditions, a composite material with precisely defined properties. But the path to achieving this is demanding. In the production of technical textiles, numerous parameters interact – and even the smallest deviations can have major consequences.
