Infinited Fiber Company was born out of the desire to solve some of the biggest challenges in the textile industry – mountains of waste, limited natural resources, and consumers calling for more sustainable choices. We’re a bunch of engineers, chemists, innovators and disruptors on a mission to make textile circularity an everyday reality. Our technology turns materials that would otherwise be landfilled or burned into something truly valuable – Infinna™, a premium textile fiber that reduces the world’s reliance on virgin resources. Our technology is now ready to scale for real impact. Working together with textile producers, brands and people who share our vision, we can bring joy and hope back to closets, homes and people as we go.

Jakamo is the supplier experience platform designed for manufacturing companies. In Jakamo, companies connect with each other, share information and collaborate. Information sharing is easy, fast and secure. Compared to the traditional systems, Jakamo is much more cost-effective, collaborative, and much easier to use. It solves the chronic problem of scattered information sharing between customer and supplier. The information is quickly available, where and whenever needed. Proven by global corporations and numerous small companies, Jakamo enables transparent information sharing and interaction, fast decision-making, and continuous improvement with your chosen partner companies. Companies using Jakamo execute everyday decisions faster, shorten the time to market, spare time with a hassle-free system, and spend a fraction of money compared to traditional management IT-systems. Jakamo includes familiar applications related to everyday routines and development. The use of these features has been adapted to the requirements of the ​network economy - something the conventional systems fail to recognize. JAKAMO LIMITED Jakamo was created in 2012 after the founders failed to find a ready-to-use tool to fulfill their customers’ requirements. The manufacturing industry lacked an independent platform that allows collaboration between companies. Jakamo was designed to satisfy this precise need. Years later, Jakamo serves 3000+ companies such as ABB, David Brown Santasalo, Haldex, Metso Outotec, Mitsubishi Logisnext, Škoda Transtech, Viessmann in 50+ countries around the world. Jakamo is designed and inspired by its users. We continue to receive and analyse ideas from the users how to further develop the service. We promise to protect our service users from complex and rigid systems. We are a passionate group. And we work hard together with our customers to reach our ultimate goal - delivering true supplier experience for manufacturing companies as an industry standard.
