Background
Coveross technology was created by a Japanese garment OEM/ODM company, Hap Co., Ltd., to move the fashion industry toward greater sustainability and enhance wellness with textiles. After three years of development and over 3,000 trials, Coveross technology was introduced to the Japanese market in 2016. Since then, over 500,000 Coveross -empowered functional garments and textile products have been delivered to customers.
Now, Coveross is expanding beyond Japan. Coveross Oy was established in Finland in 2019 to transform Coveross into a global brand. The new company will lead the business expansion to Europe and other new regions. Besides launching in new markets, the company focuses on sustainable R&D for new functional garments and daily-use textile products for different consumer and customer segments. Additionally, we are exploring Coveross solutions for other textile applications, such as interior textiles, furniture and other environments.
