The University of Oregon – with a deep history in the areas of sports product development, athletic performance, and sustainability – is partnering with NTX, an international company that uses waterless dyeing and printing for textile production. NTX, along with its longtime global supply chain partner Luenthai, plans to open NTX Bridge Innovation Lab in Partnership with the University of Oregon next year.
Through this agreement, NTX will establish its first U.S. facility and locate it near the University of Oregon’s new Northeast Portland campus. UO students and faculty members will have access to the state-of-the-art facilities, prototype resources, and mentorship at the lab.
