FiberCraze Co., Ltd

Established in 2021 as a Gifu University startup with the world's unique nano-porous technology as its core technology, which was born from academic research. With our mission of “Create Materials the World Can Be Proud of," we aim to create new value by bringing together Japanese technological capabilities and establish materials that will serve as infrastructure for the development of lifestyles and industry. We are taking on the challenge of solving serious social problems worldwide, such as malaria, dengue fever, and other infectious diseases caused by mosquitoes. It is predicted that the virus may spread more widely in the future due to population growth and global warming. We are taking on the challenge of solving this problem with a unique new material. We create nano-sized pores in fibers and impregnate them with anti-mosquito ingredients. The anti-mosquito ingredients are then slowly released to keep mosquitoes away. Through this process, we are developing clothes that prevent infectious diseases. Evidence has already been obtained in Japan, and we are currently working with an infectious disease research institute in Malaysia to conduct demonstration tests in Southeast Asia.
