We are a research team of visionaries, engineers and inventors.
The TEXTERIAL team combines a range of skills and disciplines. But what motivates them all is their shared vision of developing sustainable, circular alternatives for the textile industry. At the heart of their work is a friendly atmosphere and a strong team spirit.
Creative solution? Ask Alexandra.
Alexandra studied textile technology at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences,where she had an extraordinary idea: transferring non-wettability to textiles. A few years later, she is now a researcher and has founded a company together with Sarah – TEXTERIAL. She is the creative developer and enjoys herwork.
Multi-talented: Sarah.
Sarah is responsible for finances, business development and the organisation of everything. She also has an MBA in Management and Entrepreneurship. She keeps track of everything and founded the company together with Alexandra. And luckily for all of us, she studied food chemistry before that. So she also understands the textile engineers when they talk about textile finishing.
She knows exactly how our filament works: Melanie.
She studied textile technologies at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. During her master's thesis, she already dealt with the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of textiles. She knows the exact function of the filament.
Textiles and sustainability combined: Maike.
Maike studied textile technologies at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and completed a master's degree in applied sustainability at the Bochum University of Applied Sciences. She combines the two disciplines: textiles and sustainability. She also enjoys all the creative tasks that come up in a start-up.
