AMSilk to showcase its biofabricated yarns at Première Vision Paris

AMSilk GmbH (“AMSilk”), a frontrunner in advanced biomaterials made from spider silk-based proteins, today announces that it will be making its first appearance at Première Vision Paris, the largest textile trade show in Europe, from the 2-4 July 2024.

Première Vision Paris, an international event for creative and eco-responsible fashion professionals, attracts the industry’s leading decision makers from the most successful brands and designers in Europe and beyond. This gives AMSilk the opportunity to showcase its advanced biofabricated yarns to a targeted audience of key stakeholders in the textile industry.

As the only Company to have succeeded in producing continuous filament yarns from spider silk proteins, AMSilk is now ready for commercialisation and the fair provides an important opportunity to showcase how the Company is redefining the boundaries of bio-based materials.

AMSilk’s participation in Première Vision Paris follows on from its trade show debut at Pitti Immagine Filati in Florence, Italy.

Benoit Cugnet, Head of Fiber Business at AMSilk, commented: “Première Vision is the largest textile fair in Europe and it functions as a launch pad for those companies and innovators attempting to shape the future of the textile industry. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to contribute to these discussions and exhibit our industry leading advanced biomaterials made from spider silk-based proteins.”

Members of AMSilk’s team will be at Première Vision Paris, please reach out to set up a meeting or come along to its stand to learn more about its advanced biomaterials.
