Switzerland-based Haelixa has announced that it has received a new capital injection from the Zürich Silk Association (ZSIG). Haelixa offers proprietary solutions to physically mark, trace, and authenticate products along the consumer goods supply chains, empowering textile and fashion companies to make more responsible choices. Its founders developed the concept and solution of DNA markers for product traceability at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich). By testing products for the DNA, Haelixa validates whether the original marked materials are present. The ZSGI, founded in 1854, is an association of active and former companies from Zurich’s silk industry, focusing on the promotion of high-quality projects relevant to the textile industry. It is one of Switzerland’s oldest trade associations. The new capital contributed by the ZSGI will support the scale of Haelixa’s global operations.
