The Jeanius Hub at the upcoming Kingpins Amsterdam April 2026 edition

The Jeanius Hub section is expanding its footprint at the April 15-16 Kingpins Amsterdam show at SugarFactory. Launched last year as a destination for discovering new innovations, the second-floor section will feature a mix of returning companies and first-time exhibitors.

“Across every stage of the supply chain — from fiber and dyeing to finishing, circularity, and digital design — there are new developments reinventing how denim is made,” said Vivian Wang, CEO of Kingpins. “Jeanius Hub is our way of bringing the whole community into that conversation, so people can see what’s happening, connect with innovators, and be part of building where denim goes from here.”

The 10 companies showing in Jeanius Hub include:

LAB Denim, a biotech company reinventing denim production with indigo-free dyeing and bio-based finishing.

WOPTAG, a Denmark-based digital design and supply chain platform for the denim industry.

NORDShield, which developed bio-based anti-odor and antimicrobial textile treatments that replace traditional metal-based solutions.

Around Systems, a Norway-based company that builds infrastructure for textile circularity through digital planning, product identification (RFID), and automated disassembly systems.

Circulose,the textile-to-textile recycling company that transforms cotton-rich waste garments into CIRCULOSE®, a dissolving pulp used to produce regenerated fibers like viscose and lyocell to use as an alternative to virgin cotton or petrochemical materials.

CleanKore & HMS, working together on a pilot program to combine CleanKore’s patented low-impact yarn dyeing technology with HMS’s sludge-free washing and finishing process.

Pinter Group, the Spanish maker of textile spinning machinery.

Chloris, a biotech color company that developed Claessen Blue™, the world’s first bio-based blue dye produced through scalable fermentation technology.

Royo,the Spanish textile manufacturer with 120 years of history and a strong sustainability track record.
