Mario Stucki: “Dimpora makes a membrane in a way no one else does”

Dimpora is an award-winning ingredient brand based in Switzerland, which has developed what could be a unicorn product in the Performance Clothing and Outdoor industries: A membrane that is waterproof, windproof, breathable, PFAS-free, biodegradable and recyclable, depending on the raw material. CEO Mario Stucki is clearly proud of the product and has a clear set of goals for the future. In our interview, together with our sister publication Outdoor Industry Compass, we discuss the science behind Dimpora’s unique membrane manufacturing process and what sets it apart from the competition, the importance of a “made in Switzerland” label, why talking numbers in membranes is not optimal, and whether proposed regulations surrounding PFAS go far enough. Subscribe to the Outdoor Industry Compass to read the full interview.
