VOLT Smart Yarns CEO Is Featured Speaker at NPE 2018: The Plastics Show on May 8, 2018


HICKORY, N.C., May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Matt Kolmes, CEO of VOLT Smart Yarns, a division of Supreme Corporation and a producer of revolutionary highly conductive yarn for smart textiles, will speak at an NPE Wearable Technology panel on May 8, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. ET. Kolmes will discuss breakthroughs in connecting textiles to technology that has enabled more companies to enter the wearable technology market and push the boundaries of smart textile capabilities.

As part of the discussion, Kolmes will be demonstrating the new connection techniques with VOLT Smart Yarns. These techniques allow for easy connectivity between the smart fabric and power source for the technology, a solution that has previously been regarded as a barrier for companies developing wearable technology.

"It's a privilege to participate at NPE and discuss the recent advances we have made at VOLT Smart Yarns that are enhancing the possibilities of wearable technology for consumers," said Matt Kolmes, CEO of VOLT Smart Yarns. "Plastics bridge the gap between fabrics, sensors, batteries, PC boards and other necessary items to make wearable technology function. For the evolution of wearable technology to progress, we need the textile, electronics, and plastics industries to join together in a synergistic way to create the intermediary structures that wearable technology needs in order to innovate and create for the future."

NPE 2018: The Plastics Show is known as the world's leading plastics trade show and features exhibitors from over 2,000 companies to showcase cutting-edge technology through full-scale operating prototypes and machinery. Held every three years, this year's event takes place in Orlando, Florida, from May 7-11, 2018. NPE is produced by the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) and includes the entire global plastics supply chain, along with the full range of end-user markets.

Since being introduced in September 2017 as a division of Supreme Corporation's innovative products, VOLT Smart Yarns has received global recognition through the International Fabric Association International ("IFAI") Show Stopper award. Due to its ability to deliver the only conductive yarn through four highly conductive insulated wires that can be used in commercialized sewing, VOLT Smart Yarns enables any textile to be paired with smart technology. Recent partnerships with Pressure Profile Systems, Inc. ("PPS") and JRC REFLEX have resulted in cutting-edge prototypes such as a smart technology protective vest for law enforcement personnel, and the world's first yarn that delivers dual reflective and conductive capabilities.
