A New tough Fiber aimed at military and tactical gear

GREENSBORO, N.C. | May 6, 2025 — UNIFI, Inc. (NYSE: UFI), the company behind REPREVE®, has introduced Fortisyn™, a high-performance yarn engineered for durability in demanding tactical applications. Designed to deliver superior abrasion, tear, and tensile resistance, Fortisyn is ideal for use in military uniforms and first responder gear.

Available globally and made in the USA for Berry Amendment compliance, Fortisyn comes in both nylon 6,6 and REPREVE® Nylon—a recycled, circular nylon derived from post-industrial waste. It withstands tough environments while maintaining appearance and function over time.

Certified by Oeko-Tex®, GRS, and SCS for recycled content, Fortisyn includes FiberPrint® technology for traceability and is compatible with UNIFI’s broader portfolio of performance yarns. The solution-dyed yarn also offers enhanced colorfastness and sustainability credentials.

UNIFI is showcasing Fortisyn at Techtextil North America 2025 in Atlanta (Booth 4241), further highlighting its commitment to advancing recycled and durable textiles for high-impact sectors.
