PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Panorama Fabrics priority is to develop textiles that are innovative, sustainable and modern.

Textiles should be tactilely appealing and highly functional at the same time. We aim to look further afield in order to develop something truly new. Panorama Fabrics' work process encompasses the entire textile value chain - from the fiber to the yarn to the finished textile and its manufacture. We accompany product visions from the idea to market maturity . 

Projects are usually realized within 3 to 18 months, depending on the complexity and degree of development. We also support our customers beyond the product development, subsequent adjustments or further development over longer periods of time.
