LEVIN, New Zealand — June 14, 2022 — TMC Ltd., owner of Nuyarn spinning technology and a proven innovator in the performance fiber and apparel space, has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2022, recognized for the company’s development of Herculan. Made possible by the company’s Nuyarn spinning technology, Herculan uses carpet and upholstery grade wool — an abundant resource.
在Fast Company的编辑和作家进行了数月的研究之后，人们对全球和行业中最开创性的业务进行了几个月的研究。特别注意赫库兰（Herculan）这样的可持续制造过程，这些过程利用了过多的材料，经常被抛弃。Herculan纱的发明是独一无二的，因为它将简化供应链，并鼓励最终用户通过制造持续时间更长并具有较高性能优势的天然纤维服装来减少浪费。
“我们很荣幸能被Fast Co.认可为世界上最具创新性的制造公司之一。开发赫尔库兰（Herculan）花了五年时间，我们相信它将对羊毛行业产生积极的影响，并帮助提供羊毛产品的新时代，这些产品的表现更好，可以持续更长的时间，从而获得最终消费者的整体体验。”TMC Ltd.首席执行官Andy Wynne说。
“The world’s most innovative companies play an essential role in addressing the most pressing issues facing society, whether they’re fighting climate change by spurring decarbonization efforts, ameliorating the strain on supply chains, or helping us reconnect with one another over shared passions,” said Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky.
Landing at #6 on the list, TMC’s emerging textile technology Herculan has unique durability and performance benefits that for the first time opens the door for wool to be used in high abrasion and high impact zones in apparel such as socks, footwear, gloves, pants, outerwear, and thousands of other potential applications, without succumbing to wear. In addition to its extreme durability, Herculan has significantly better performance and comfort benefits to both natural wool textiles (that is twisted) and synthetic fibers alike. Exceeding in efficient moisture management and quicker dry times, higher volume, aeration, elasticity, and thermal retention, non-reflectivity, noise reduction, and odor-resistance. This is due to Herculan’s unique yarn construction — like Nuyarn — which is built by drafting carpet grade strong wool cleanly around a performance filament without twisting or fraying.
