THE NORTH FACE
The first step to toward practical use of the new generation of protein material
Spiber × GOLDWIN
As a joint development project aimed at the commercialization of the year 2016,
THE NORTH FACE prototype, which was developed in the "MOON PARKA" Announces


Spiber (Supaiba) Co., Ltd. (Representative Executive Officer: Guanshan Kazuhide, Head Office: Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture Kakuganji shaped water 234-1) and, Goldwin Inc. (President: Akio Nishida, head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Shoto 2-20-6, the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange: Code number 8111), we entered into a business alliance agreement in the sports apparel field, became a thing to advance the development of new products using the new generation of high-performance materials.

(Previously reported September 8, 2015)
This time, so far it has received the support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, also in a national project has been nominated selection (? 1) Spiber is, artificial and synthetic spider that was successfully developed the world's first as beginning of sports apparel development with yarn material QMONOS (TM), co-developed prototype of Goldwin is a leading brand of outdoor to expand in Japan

"THE NORTH FACE" (The North Face) "MOON PARKA" ( Moon parka) we will announce. The moon is the most distant, harsh polar regions in which mankind has reached. MOON PARKA, the Antarctic strong will and attitude that aims to further Polar exceed (antarctica), and we have expressed the possibility of infinite that this project has.

2015, due to both the Spiber and Goldwin, start a joint research and development projects aimed at practical application of a new generation protein material is a top product of THE NORTH FACE "ANTARCTICA PARKA" the (antarctica, parka) and base to the outer jacket, we succeeded in prototyping of MOON PARKA. The first time in the world to succeed in the production of the actual apparel industry line using an artificial synthetic spider silk material, so far toward the practical use of the new generation protein material that has been hard, we took a big step.

Antarctica, parka is MOON PARKA Outer of that design was designed on the base of the Moon Gold QMONOS (TM), black logo for embroidery thread also made of QMONOS (TM). The selection in the practice of prototyping, the appropriate protein than the molecular library Spiber possessed outer material, for embroidery thread. In addition, spinning, twisting, weaving, and sewing, in order to examine the optimal conditions of each process, and made a prototype of a huge number.

MOON PARKA is clothing the world's first artificial protein material that has been produced by the actual apparel industry line was used. Through this prototyping, we were able to grasp the many challenges towards mass production. In Spiber, with the aim of launching early as possible and the resolution of this problem, we have a third-party allocation of new shares totaling 9.5 billion 84.16 million yen (separately Spiber than news releases.). In the future, that it will continue to resolve one by one these challenges,

it aims to deliver to everyone the final product of MOON PARKA in 2016 year, we will continue to promote research and development in collaboration.

Many current sports apparel, but uses a synthetic polymer material manufactured petroleum as a raw material (such as polyester or nylon), these materials are consumed enormous energy in the production process and huge It is greenhouse gas emissions. In a situation in which the depletion of oil is concerned, it will continue to shift to sustainable resource alternative to exhaustible resources is a big responsibility for us to live in modern society.

We Through this joint development, reduce as much as possible the discharge of consumption and greenhouse gas of exhaustible resources such as oil, excellent biocompatibility, strong, beautiful, sustainable structural protein material with a biodegradable by proposing a outdoor apparel utilizing, we are confident that can contribute significantly to the human society.

The national project in which 1 Spiber selected ?
2012, is adopted as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry straight enforcement project "highly functional genome design technology development for innovative biomaterials realization", participated in the high-functional gene Design Research Association (TRAHED). 2013, in the "innovation commercialization venture support project" of NEDO, is adopted for the second consecutive year, we have been promoting the research and development than ever before.

And in 2014, the Cabinet Office established by "material industrial revolution by the ultra-high-performance structural protein" individual research and development programs in the "Innovative research and development promotion program (ImPACT)", Spiber has been appointed selected as the core research organization, along with various other participating institutions we are promoting research and development.
? 2 The artificial spider silk material QMONOS (TM)

Is a completely different protein materials and petroleum chemical fiber, such as conventional polyester or nylon, to produce a protein which is the main component of the spider silk as a raw material by microbial fermentation (fibroin), that they are spinning and processing a new generation material made by. Spiber has succeeded in the world's first mass production.
