About Facility
Corporate headquarters
Simplifyber is a Raleigh‑based materials start‑up (founded 2020 by former luxury designer Maria Intscher‑Owrang and entrepreneur Phil Cohen) that replaces centuries‑old textile processes with a one‑step molding system. The company’s proprietary slurry, Fybron™, suspends plant‑derived cellulose fibres in water with natural binders; the liquid is injected into precision 3‑D tools, then dried to yield seamless soft‑goods components. By eliminating spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing, Simplifyber says it removes roughly 60 % of the energy and labour normally embedded in garments and trims waste to near‑zero. A life‑cycle model shared on LinkedIn puts the environmental impact of a molded shoe upper at up to 33 × lower than a conventional knit polyester version. In April 2025 the firm closed a US $ 12 m Series A led by pulp major Suzano Ventures to scale a 25,000 ft² pilot factory adjacent to its Raleigh headquarters and double its materials‑science staff. First commercial showcases include the GANNI × Simplifyber “Moon Shoe” unveiled at Paris Fashion Week SS25 and Kia’s Concept EV2 dashboard and door panels, demonstrating cross‑sector flexibility. The long‑term business model combines direct manufacturing with licensing of both molding equipment and Fybron concentrate to brands and tier‑one suppliers.
