Our research serving our development
Pennel & Flipo invests annually in Research and Development.
In this perspective, we have integrated a test lab and a dedicated team of 15 engineers.
Research and Development focuses on continuous improvement of ORCA© engineered fabrics. Our priorities are mechanical and chemical resistance, lightness, color resistance and environmental protection (in design, production, use and disposal of ORCA© fabrics).
Our research and development is based on our areas of expertise
