Mikkelsen Innovation’s goal is to revolutionize one of the largest industries worldwide – the Textile Industry. This sector employs a staggering 300 million people globally, with 45 million individuals predominantly using manual sewing machines that rely on century-old technology. The Textile Industry is currently facing a pressing need for accessible and efficient automation solutions. Unlike many other industries, it has not yet fully embraced the automation trends that have become commonplace.

Our diverse international team of engineers and experts has successfully developed an ingenious solution by harnessing Moving Cavity Technology (MCT™). This technology is seamlessly integrated with proven CNC machine technology to create a pioneering system known as FASTSEWN™. Through this integration, we have achieved a patented system that enables precise digitally controlled sewing and cutting of textiles. This innovation dramatically diminishes the need for manual labor allowing the Textile Industry to consider shifting its production closer to its Western markets which will result in reducing the reliance and cost of offshoring. The implementation of our technology for localized textile production will give you shorter runs and the potential to curtail overproduction and transportation times, thereby lowering overall costs.

Our initial focus centers on technical textiles used in various applications such as automotive, medical, filtration, ventilation, military, and graphics. While automation of garment production is on our roadmap, we’re prioritizing these technical textiles sectors for now.
