The world’s first
fully automated
sewing robot
We built the first autonomous sewing system, enabling fast, ethical, on-demand garment production without sacrificing quality or scale.
Our story
From frustration to sewing automation

Despite innovation elsewhere, fashion production remains outdated – labor-intensive, inflexible, and disconnected from demand. We set out to change that.

Founded in Vienna by three innovators passionate about fashion and transforming the industry for the better, we took on the challenge of solving one of the last unsolved problems in manufacturing: automating sewing.

No shortcuts. No copy-paste. Just years of building from scratch – with every prototype, every setback, and every breakthrough pushing us forward. After countless iterations, we created the world’s first fully autonomous sewing system. Now, from our lab in New York, we’re empowering fashion brands to reshore production — fast, cost-efficient, and ready to scale.
Our vision
Autonomous production
for any textile
We’re building the production infrastructure for a new era of fashion.
One where speed replaces stockpiles, automation replaces exploitation, and supply chains are built around demand — not distance.
