FOR A MORE ACTIVE WORLD.
WE MAKE
WHAT’S NEXT
POSSIBLE.
From materials to movement.
From ideas to impact.
OUR APPROACH
NOT JUST A
MANUFACTURER.
We solve the problems behind the product — then build the process that makes the solution repeatable at scale.
Material development, engineering, prototyping, validation and manufacturing work as one connected workflow. Fewer hand-offs. Faster iteration. A clearer path from creative intent to production reality.
FOUR WAYS TO MOVE AN IDEA
FORWARD.
MATERIAL PLATFORM
R-MAT
RETHINKING FOAM.A material platform exploring lightweight performance, energy return and next-generation formulation possibilities.

FROM MATERIAL
TO PRODUCT.
Our capabilities become valuable when they solve a real product problem — across uppers, midsoles, outsoles and functional components.

RETHINKING
PERFORMANCE FOAM.
R-MAT is XYL's material technology platform — developed to explore the next generation of footwear foam through formulation, processing and application engineering.
LIGHTWEIGHTMaterial design focused on weight reduction and intended product experience.
ENERGYRebound and cushioning engineered around application requirements.
RESPONSIBLEBio-based and process-oriented development pathways for lower-impact concepts.
Detailed grades, test methods and performance tables belong on the dedicated R-MAT technical page and should use only approved laboratory data.
INNOVATION HAS TO SCALE.

BETTER MATERIALS.
BETTER PROCESSES.
Sustainability is not a separate story. It is part of how materials are developed, processes are engineered and products are scaled.

SOLVING FOOTWEAR
PROBLEMS.
XYL was built around footwear manufacturing — and has evolved by solving increasingly complex problems in materials, engineering and production.
The next chapter is not about becoming a bigger factory. It is about becoming a better innovation partner for global footwear brands.
