Shareholder Update from Dirk, page-42

Here’s one for you, FrankMe.

I note an announcement made yesterday by US textile company, Creative Ticking that it was now offering two new cooling technologies - Kyla (meaning Chill in Swedish) and Kyla+.
The company said it is aiming to provide its customers with “the best cooling products on the market”.

Both treatments use PCM. While Kyla + is described as a yarn-based, Kyla is described as a treatment that is applied to the entire fabric or just the face.

Interestingly, just last July, Creative Ticking announced an agreement with Devan Chemicals to offer its Thermic QuickDry technology across its entire fabric range. Thermic QuickDry was described as a combination of PCM-based thermoregulation and quick dry technologies. At the time of last July’s announcement, a spokesperson for Creative Ticking said that, after study of the available cooling technologies on the market, Devan’s Thermic QuickDry stood out for performance and value.

Creative Ticking is a division of Beverly Knits and is based in North Carolina. Beverly Knits produces more than 22 million meters of fabric annually. In addition to mattress ticking, the company also produces fabrics for the automotive industry, apparel markets, industrial markets and medical markets.

Devan Chemicals is headquartered in Belgium, with its US operations based in South Carolina. There is no mention of Kyla or Kyla+ technologies on its website.
