Milliken & Company, a global flooring, textiles, chemicals and health care products manufacturer based in Spartanburg, S.C., announced its investment and partnership with Tidal Vision. Tidal Vision is a global biomolecular technologies company. The partnership will introduce biodegradable chemistries to the markets that Milliken serves and is the latest in a series of investments made as part of Milliken’s venture program.
“At Milliken, we invest with a long-term perspective, prioritizing partnerships that will drive meaningful growth,” says Halsey Cook, president and CEO at Milliken. “Our approach is grounded in thorough research, strategic alignment with our core values, and a commitment to creating lasting value for our customers.”
Milliken’s investment will increase the availability of responsibly sourced materials with biodegradable properties in multiple applications made possible by Tidal Vision’s proprietary technologies that transform chitosan, a powerful and biodegradable compound, into high-performance chemistries.
“We recognize the growing demand for responsible solutions that meet the highest standards of performance – and creating a path to offering biodegradable technologies represents an important step in that direction,” says Cindy Boiter, executive vice president and president of Milliken’s chemical business. “Our partnership with Tidal Vision is a natural fit, as their innovative approach to sustainable materials aligns with our commitments to collaboration, innovation, and sustainability.”
Tidal is headquartered in Bellingham, Wash., and has more than 200 employees and facilities in five states.
“Tidal Vision is thrilled to partner with Milliken, combining our complementary strengths to expand the use of chitosan-based chemistries into new applications on a global scale,” says Craig Kasberg, CEO of Tidal Vision. “By replacing non-biodegradable alternatives at scale, we’re driving meaningful environmental impact. Milliken’s commitment to sustainability and culture of innovation, paired with their market leadership, creates an ideal platform to accelerate the adoption of Tidal Vision’s technologies.”
