Paul Brook the Development Director of Conductive Transfers (CT) said "It is a great honour to accept the King's Awards for Enterprise: Innovation 2023. The award is testament to the hard work, dedication and drive for success of our talented CT team".
Conductive Transfers evolved from a manufacturer of heat transfers, utilising the screen-printing process back in 2017 and now employs a team of skilled individuals at Shortwood Business Park, in South Yorkshire.
The printed transfers we produce are stretchable, thin, light, washable and durable and can be applied to almost any fabric or material including denim, stretchable lycra®, automotive grade polycarbonate and TPU.
One of our success stories, has been the manufacturing of printed circuits for Innovo®, for over four years. This is an FDA approved smart garment that is used to treat urinary incontinence, a condition that affects 1 in 3 women globally.
Our innovative process, brings together electronics and textiles to create functional e-textiles and wearable technology. The applications for our patented technologies are numerous and varied and we are developing a number of projects with customers in the apparel, health, medical and automotive sectors. These include heaters for apparel, PPE and Functional Electrical Stimulation electrodes, for the rehabilitation of stroke patients. We are also developing sensors for pressure, temperature, humidity and moisture, for use in hospital beds, diapers and femtech applications. There are also a number of other exciting developments that are using CT's pressure sensors and highly efficient ElastaTherm® heaters in the automotive industry.
Sheffield born Paul, went on to say "We are very proud of what we have achieved so far and appreciate we are on an amazing journey. Our technology is helping to improve the lives of others whilst creating a legacy and ensuring the future of e-textiles. The possibilities for the use of our technology are almost endless, and we hope with receiving this prestigious award, this will encourage many companies to work with CT and reach new horizons with their own future developments. There is no need to wait, the technology exists today"
