At E.Cima we produce a wide variety of fabrics. Each of them has different characteristics or properties depending on each application or functionality. Among all of them, in this article we want to introduce you to our fabrics for the orthopedic sector. Special fabrics for the manufacture of all types of orthoses, which provide solutions for mobility and autonomy and therefore improve the quality of life of the people who use them. .

Safety and comfort

Our fabrics, properly made by professionals in the orthopedic sector, provide functionality, both in terms of prevention and recovery of mobility, without losing comfort and safety to those who use them. A commitment to the well-being of those who use them based on the most precise textile technology.

More than 10 years helping people with orthopedics

We are dedicated to creating and developing textile solutions for our clients. E.Cima offers a great quality and variety of products: 3D fabrics, spacers, airmesh, microfibers, nubuck, suede, velours, loop velor, linings, openwork, block meshes, nets, elastic fabrics, velvets, polar linings, tracksuits, micro corduroys , foamed fabrics, resin-coated fabrics, circular fabrics… We manufacture more than 8 million meters of fabric per year. We export more than 70% of our production. We produce 35% of the electricity we use with solar energy, avoiding the emission of 43,776 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere.

At E.Cima we have done it again. Our commitment to technology has led to a new achievement for the textile sector. On this occasion, we have created a technical fabric that allows the temperature to be cooled automatically and actively without having to connect to the electrical current. It is a flexible thermoelectric device that can be integrated into any textile-type material.

Temperature sensors to guarantee good distribution of cold.

It can be of great help in cases such as the clothing of firefighters, athletes, industrial workers or hospital equipment. The innovative system incorporates a series of temperature sensors, power control and ventilation elements to guarantee good distribution of cold and efficient operation through heat dissipation.

To carry out this project we have received help of 73,000 euros from ACCIÓ – the agency for the competitiveness of the company, dependent on the Department of Business and Knowledge of the Generalitat of Catalonia -, within the framework of the R&D Nuclei program International Business. These grants promote R&D business projects between Catalan companies and international partners.

In fact, E.Cima is developing the project in collaboration with the company Intelligent Textile Products (ITP) and the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT) research center, both German, as well as the Catalan technology center Leitat.

Our media appearances

There have been several media outlets that have echoed our invention. That is why, below we present three of the most outstanding news regarding E.Cima’s autonomously refrigerated fabric. Meanwhile… We continue working on new projects!
