The B2B Marketplace [reported](https://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/technical-textiles/niber-technologies-launches-nuspun-performance-apparel-laminates-314436-newsdetails.htm) the launch, which covers three platforms: Arcus, Ventus and Stratos. Selected brand partners gain access from Q4 2026, with first garments expected in Fall/Winter 2027 collections.\n\n## NUSPUN's Three Platforms and How They Work\n\nNUSPUN laminates start with an electrospun 3D nanofiber web built fiber by fiber rather than cast or stretched like conventional membranes. Niber controls material formulation, electrospinning, membrane production and finished laminates, which the company said allows laminates to be developed around different combinations of breathability, water protection and windproofness.\n\nNUSPUN Arcus combines ultra-breathability with waterproof performance exceeding 10,000 mmH2O for heavy rain and severe weather. NUSPUN Ventus combines ultra-breathable, windproof performance with water resistance for activities from skiing to trail running in wet conditions. NUSPUN Stratos delivers air-permeable performance above 1 CFM with water resistance for high-intensity sports such as cycling and running.\n\n\"When we say we own the spin, we mean that we control every stage of the process, from formulation through electrospinning to the finished laminate, working closely with our partners along the way,\" said Jaehyung Park, Co-Founder of Niber Technologies.\n\nJaemin Park, Co-Founder of Niber Technologies, said the company supplied membranes as an OEM manufacturer for years before launching NUSPUN. \"NUSPUN is us stepping out of that role, so brands and consumers can finally see and trust exactly what's inside their apparel,\" he said.\n\n## Niber's BASF Partnership and Philippine Production\n\nNiber Technologies entered a co-development partnership with BASF in February 2026 to combine Niber's electrospinning platform with BASF Freeflex 1895A TPU polymers, targeting next-generation membranes for apparel and broader industrial applications, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The partnership was showcased at CHINAPLAS 2026. The same records show Niber operates two wholly-owned production facilities in Philippine special economic zones in General Trias, Cavite, supported by sales offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Irvine, California.\n\n## Funding and Leadership Before the Launch\n\nNiber Technologies secured over $11 million in institutional funding to scale its PFAS-free electrospun nanofiber membrane technology for the apparel industry, Innovation News Network reported in August 2026. The company appointed Jochen Lagemann as Chief Commercial Officer effective August 1, 2026, bringing more than 25 years of international experience in ingredient branding within the performance textiles industry, GlobeNewswire reported in July 2026. Niber Technologies, founded in 2019 and incorporated in Singapore, is developing PFAS-free electrospun nanofiber membranes to meet global regulatory restrictions on PFAS chemicals used in waterproof textiles, GlobeNewswire reported in August 2026.\n\n## Future Development of NUSPUN Materials\n\nRichard Beck, President and Chief Strategy Officer at Niber Technologies, said future development will focus on materials that are lighter and stretch further. \"We see opportunities to make laminates lighter, stretch further and become even more comfortable while maintaining the performance brands need,\" he said. Niber said the platform will evolve toward new material systems, including opportunities for bio-based and lower-carbon polymers.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
