Haydale and Welsh Centre for Printing and Coatings Awarded
English Institute for Sport Contract
Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, is
pleased to announce that, following its contract announcement on
18(th) September 2018, it will now collaborate with the English
Institute for Sport (EIS) and the Welsh Centre for Printing and
Coating (WCPC) to deliver a range of advanced wearable technology
sport apparel for elite athletes.
Haydale is pleased to report that initial prototype testing has
been completed in live performance sessions with elite athletes
with very successful results for wearability through its unique
coating systems. Alongside supply chain partners, a range of
garments are being manufactured in higher quantities for further
use in elite sport settings, focusing on efforts to develop
flexible and miniaturised electronics. This enhances product feel
as well as reducing weight, allowing for optimised athlete
performance.
Haydale will now continue to produce performance garments for a
range of elite sports in readiness for the Tokyo Olympic and
Paralympic Games 2020, supporting the British Olympic and
Paralympic teams in innovation and performance gains. Continued
collaboration with WCPC & Swansea University has allowed
leading scientific research to underpin this product launch.
Dr Matt Parker, Director of Performance Innovation for EIS,
states, "To move so quickly to realise the benefit of this new
technology in the training environment is testament to everyone
involved. To develop a product quickly to meet the specific needs
of athletes you need partners who will rise to the challenge with
you. We're delighted to have delivered the first of many wearable
technology solutions to our athletes."
Keith Broadbent, CEO at Haydale, commented, "It is great to see
the reward of this project with EIS and WCPC and we look forward to
seeing elite athletes benefit from the improved performance offered
through the adapted garments."
