Research & Development Guaranteed innovation puts you in front.

Successful research & development programmes bear a strong analogy to successful yacht racing projects. Any serious campaign leader will gather the most experienced people and put them in the position they have been thriving on. Thorough preparation and excellent crew work will add to the team’s chances of coming out on top. DIMENSION-POLYANT’s team have been doing just that over the past forty and more years.

Today, DIMENSION-POLYANT’s position as the world’s largest and leading sailcloth manufacturer allows the commitment of significant resources to sustained research and development programmes. The company employs a full staff of specialized textile and chemical engineers. On top of that, many of DIMENSION-POLYANT’s crew members have a sailmaking and international yacht racing background. The hard work has been rewarded by countless titles in national and international championship and Olympic medals for sailors using DIMENSION-POLYANT products. Wins in the toughest ocean races like the Fastnet, Sydney to Hobart, Transat and Vendee Globe underline DIMENSION-POLYANT’s ability and performance.

A string of innovations and international patents like X-PLY®,INSERT®and Hydra Net®, to name only a few, highlight DIMENSION-POLYANT’s capability and dedication to remain at the forefront of yachting technology. The addition of D4® membrane technology has resulted in even closer cooperation between DIMENSION-POLYANT, the sail designers and sailmakers. The sailors benefit from this dedication to innovation. The shorter development cycles and rapid improvements of the entire DIMENSION-POLYANT product line including Superyacht fabrics and membranes have ensured steady growth for the company, amply justifying DIMENSION-POLYANT’s continued investment in a future as the world’s leading sailcloth manufacturer.
