The prize of “Best Product”, awarded to the Sports Suit at the iTechStyle Awards 2018, was just the launch pad for even higher flights. The technological suit of former Sonicarla, now known as Seamless Industrial Technologies or SIT, is starting its first steps in the market and is a promising ally for every lover of snow and outdoor sports.
Through the combination of three fibres: viscose, wool and coolmax polyester, the Sports Suit is able to maintain a steady body temperature while dispelling humidity, keeping the athlete dry and protected from the cold during the practise of extreme sports, under the harshest situations. Light and breathable, the fabric acts as a second skin and also boosts the performance.
“The idea came from a necessity that spotted in the market, especially in the ski practise”, explain Rui Castelar, marketing and commercial director of SIT. Back then, still in 2016, the verticality of the company proved to be a competitive advantage. “The fact that we’re a vertical company, ranging from conception to the final product, taught us which yarn and manufacturing techniques to use in the development of this suit.”
The technical and sports clothing is a strategic segment for SIT, which made innovation one of its main competitive arguments. Working with seamless technology since 2002, when they still went by the name of Sonicarla, the Famalicão-based company that employs 150 people wants to keep innovating. “Since 2016 that we’ve been partnering with CITEVE, CeNTI and the University of Minho, and currently we have two new projects, aimed at the area of performance and sustainability”, says the marketing and commercial director of SIT.
