US fashion technology company unspun has entered into a strategic partnership with Arvind, a leading textile and apparel manufacturer in India, to implement OneWeave 3D weaving technology in large-scale apparel production.

This partnership marks Arvind's first installation of OneWeave technology, expanding unspun's 3D weaving platform beyond its microfactory into a major global manufacturing environment. Initially, Arvind will deploy two OneWeave machines at its Ahmedabad facility, with operations expected to commence by December 2026.

The phased agreement allows for the potential installation of over 30 additional machines across India and North America in 2027-28, depending on demand from global apparel brands. Unspun will provide installation, training, and ongoing support, while brands will contract directly with Arvind for garment manufacturing.

OneWeave technology enables direct yarn-to-garment production, significantly reducing material waste and production complexity. It allows for faster, more flexible manufacturing, addressing industry challenges such as unsold inventory and overproduction.

Both companies emphasize that this partnership aims to enhance responsiveness in manufacturing, reduce waste, and meet evolving customer demands for shorter lead times and sustainable practices in the apparel industry.
