The DOGI Gruop is patenting worldwide the technology that makes it possible to manufacture seamless curved finishes.

With this new technology, the DOGI Group becomes the only manufacturer in the world capable of producing elastic fabrics with curved selvages integrated in the garment. Penn Elastic is currently developing joint projects with three internationally prestigious corsetry brands.

The DOGI Group has patented worldwide, through its Penn Elastic brand –specializing in highly engineered elastic fabrics– a new technology that enables the creation of a curved selvage integrated into the garment, that represents the next generation of engineered garments

This innovative industrial technology in elastic fabrics allows the development of garments that adapt perfectly to the body’s natural shape, support and mould it without being noticeable externally. The major new feature of this patent is that the selvage or edge of the garment can now be curved, in other words with round shapes, something which so far has been impossible.

This type of garment has a high component of industrial engineering and is designed directly with each customer, based on the technical and production needs. At present, Penn Elastic is developing different projects in conjunction with three internationally prestigious corsetry brands.

The DOGI Group is the world leader in elastic fabrics with a market share of over 25%. The Spanish-based multinational is the only supplier in its sector that has global presence. It develops, produces and markets innovative products for the Lingerie, Swimwear & Activewear and Outdoor Fashion markets. The Group has more than 2000 employees and a production capacity of 40 million metres per year, distributed over its 3 brands: DOGI (creative elastic fabrics), PENN ELASTIC (technical elastic fabrics) and EFA (functional elastic fabrics).
