Innovation, Research, and Development
Sioen aims to always deliver the best products and develop new ones that meet customer demands. The development of new process techniques, cutting-edge technologies, and new, revolutionary raw materials is part of the company's innovation strategy. An intelligent mix of raw materials results in innovative and better products that also offer greater efficiency. This innovation is the result of thorough and successful interaction between suppliers, customers, the field, universities, and research groups, often involving European projects. The success of the research unit within the Sioen Group is due to the centralized structure, where the different research entities are centrally managed yet collaborate, allowing Sioen Industries' expertise to be used within individual research groups. In the future, Sioen will focus primarily on tailor-made clothing, specialized products, recyclable and recycled materials, and intelligent fabrics.
Vertical Control Process
The entire production process, from yarn to finished product, is subject to strict quality control, allowing the company to manage everything in-house and be independent of external suppliers. Managing this industrial chain allows Sioen to respond immediately to the needs of the field. These needs are gathered and stored after frequent and thorough surveys with customers, distributors, and employees. Internal suggestions from technical staff are often the result of the expertise and creativity of Sioen employees and are usually spot on.
