Since 1854, AMANN has been one of the global leaders in the field of high-quality sewing and embroidery thread production. From standard sewing to special high-tech operations, AMANN offers a wide range of threads.

AMANN is the first sewing thread manufacturer in the world to cover both the technical and biological cycle in accordance with the Cradle to Cradle principle with its Cradle Certified® Gold product line Lifecycle. These sewing threads meet the highest requirements for a resource-efficient and closed circular economy, in with the resources are endlessly reused. 

Following the claim “thinking solutions”, the AMANN Innovation Lab, AMANN’s textile think-tank is specialised in identifying
and realising textile trends and innovations. The entire spectrum comprises conductive threads and yarns, hybrid threads for composites, as well as a multitude of functional yarns and technical threads.

Product innovation

Latest innovations made by AMANN

• The circle is blue: In contrast to the linear economy, in which new resources have to be continuously added, with Cradle to Cradle, the raw materials circulate in biological and technical cycles. With its Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold product line Lifecycle, AMANN is the first sewing thread manufacturer worldwide to cover both cycles, the technical and the biological cycle. Therefore these sewing threads meet the highest requirements for a resource-efficient and closed circular economy, in with the resources are endlessly reused.
  
  Lifecycle Polyamide, a sewing thread made from recycled polyamide 6, has been specially developed for the technical cycle. It is made from textile waste and has excellent strength and colour fastness properties.
  
  Lifecycle Cotton, the sewing thread for the biological cycle, is made from extra long-staple organic cotton and dyed exclusively with compostable dyestuffs.
• Basalt-tech: the first sewing thread made from 100% basalt stone fibers. As Basalt-tech withstands even highest temperatures, it is ideally suited for flame retardant textiles with maximum heat load, hot gas filtration, or applications with liquid metal contact. Therefore, Basalt-tech is an ideal choice, where aramide threads reach their limit in terms of temperature resistance.
  Further, Basalt-tech combines the most diverse features in one thread: it resists chemicals, corrosion, rot and UV. Another unique benefit of Basalt-tech is its non-conductivity.
