Texible GmbH

Texible GmbH is an Austrian smart-textiles engineering company based in Vorarlberg's Rhine Valley. Founded in 2016 as a start-up and spin-off from the University of Innsbruck, the company designs, develops and produces smart-textile solutions that integrate electronics, sensors and connectivity into textile structures. Its interdisciplinary team combines expertise from IT, the textile industry, plastics technology, electronics and project management, and it positions itself as both an expert and a network hub that assembles tailored project teams for each customer challenge. Texible's service offering spans the entire development chain: from initial idea and conceptual design through research and development, prototyping and small-series production to series-ready manufacturing. The company operates an in-house small-scale production facility in an old knitwear factory, equipped with machinery for tailored fibre placement, knitting, embroidery and other textile technologies. This allows it to produce prototypes and small series internally, while its location in Vorarlberg's diverse industrial landscape — close to Switzerland and Germany — enables it to outsource to specialised partners over short distances and to scale production through a European production network. A key part of Texible's work is the integration of sensor data, firmware, IT and app components. The company handles the conceptual design of control systems, including hardware and firmware, and typically works with external control units for analysing sensor data. Its projects include Equusir, Adresys, Waibro Sports and Wisbi, and it also maintains its own brands for smart-textile products. The company's stated vision is to advance the sustainable production of smart textiles in Europe. Texible remains a privately held company. It is not listed on a stock exchange and no parent company or owner is disclosed in the available sources. Its central location in the Rhine Valley and its proximity to a broad network of industrial partners are central to its operating model, allowing it to cover the entire textile value creation chain over short distances.

Texible GmbH was founded in 2016 as a start-up and spin-off from the University of Innsbruck. From its beginnings as a research project, the company focused on transferring prototypes into series-ready products, and it has grown into a highly technical company with expertise in smart-textiles engineering. Its early work was rooted in the academic environment of Innsbruck, but the company established its operational base in Vorarlberg's Rhine Valley, a region with a diverse industrial landscape and a strong textile tradition. The choice of location was strategic. Vorarlberg's Rhine Valley places Texible in close proximity to a wide range of cooperation partners with specific technical know-how, and to the borders of Switzerland and Germany. This allows the company to cover the entire textile value creation chain over short distances and to outsource to experts quickly when needed. Texible operates from light offices in an old knitwear factory, which also houses its in-house small-scale production facility. This facility includes an extensive range of machinery for developing and implementing prototypes through to small series, using technologies such as tailored fibre placement, knitting and embroidery. Over time, Texible has built an interdisciplinary team from the fields of IT, the textile industry, plastic technology, electronics and project management. The company describes itself not only as a group of experts but also as a network hub that adapts and assembles interdisciplinary project teams for individual customer requirements. Its service model covers the full journey from initial idea to series production, including conceptual design of control systems, hardware and firmware, and the integration of sensor data, IT and app components. For larger roll-outs, Texible expands into its European production network, involving production partners early in product development. Texible has developed and participated in a range of projects, including Equusir, Adresys, Waibro Sports and Wisbi. It also maintains its own brands for smart-textile products. The company's stated vision is to advance the sustainable production of smart textiles in Europe, promoting Europe as a business location with economical and sustainable production. As of the available sources, Texible remains a privately held company with no disclosed parent or owner.
