Twine Solutions has appointed Alon Bar-Shany as active chairman of the board. Twine’s technology is the first of its kind, by digitally dyeing raw or off-the-shelf white polyester thread in any colour and length, for use in sewing, knitting or embroidery. Twine’s process is sustainable with its waterless process, while reducing huge amounts of thread waste.

Bar-Shany was the general manager of HP-Indigo for the last 16 years. HP-Indigo is known as a pioneer of digital printing technology and during his tenure as CEO, HP Indigo has maintained a global market leadership in the digital printing sector through continued innovation and customer focus, resulting in unprecedented customer growth. Prior to the general manager role, Bar-Shany served as indigo’s CFO and since joining in 1995 was involved in a 10X growth of the company, according to Twine.

“Twine has all the ingredients to become another Indigo in the textile industry based on a unique technology and the rapidly changing industry needs and potential for digital disruption. I am especially excited at the ability to help the company scale by helping its customers to grow and at the sustainability impact Twine brings to the market,” Bar-Shany said in a press release by Twine.

“I am pleased and honoured to welcome Bar-Shany to our board of directors and chairman. There are incredible similarities to the digital printing industry transformation and with Bar-Shany’s insights of more than 30 years across so many disciplines, he will help propel Twine forward. The pandemic has only fuelled and accelerated the market’s needs towards the ‘sell then manufacture’ paradigm enabled through Twine; speed and sustainability are pertinent keys, and we intend to keep delivering on the promise of our revolutionary technology,” Alon Moshe, Twine CEO and co-founder said.
