The iCork Factory: A Hub for Material Innovation
The iCork Factory operates as an incubator of material innovation, formulation development, and precision manufacturing. Within this facility, engineers can develop new cork–rubber formulations (that can incorporate natural/recycled rubber, or circular-economy materials such as EVA), material behavior, and engineer com…
At i.cork factory, opportunities for incorporating materials from the circular economy are explored on a daily basis.
The unit’s main mission is to design new materials that will continuously respond to the needs of the different business areas in which it operates, and also test and explore the application of technologies that haven’t yet been industrialized in the sector. Procurement of raw materials has increased our network of sup…
