Spinnova chooses a textile engineering specialist

With Anu here, the Spinnova fibre development together with our customers takes another leap forward.” This addition to the team is part of growing and expanding Spinnova’s operations this year.

Ms Kyllönen has solid experience of materials, textile processes, quality assurance and production management. She has worked in the textiles industry since 2001. Anu Kyllönen has been appointed Specialist, Textile Engineering, in the sustainable fibre company Spinnova as of 21 May 2018.

Ms Kyllönen reinforces Spinnova’s team with the technical textiles industry knowledge that is needed in the further processing phases of fibre R&D according to the manufacturer.

Spinnova’s objective is to globally commercialise pulp-based textile fibre. Spinnova based in Jyväskylä, Central Finland employing 10 experts.

Spinnova’s R&D has recently been complemented with carding and dry spinning technology, which enables a more comprehensive testing process of fibre qualities than before in Spinnova’s pilot factory.
