Sheertex

Sheertex is a Montreal-based textile and hosiery company founded in 2017 by Katherine Homuth.

The company operates from its headquarters and factory, allowing for close collaboration between production and design. Sheertex focuses on innovating the hosiery sector by offering an "unbreakable" alternative to traditional nylon tights, utilizing a proprietary knit material made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). This material is significantly stronger, lightweight, and sustainable, reducing landfill waste. The company has expanded its product line to include socks, face masks, and bike shorts, with plans for leggings and shoes. Sheertex is recognized for its durable hosiery products, which are marketed as virtually indestructible. In addition to its direct-to-consumer offerings, Sheertex provides advanced textile manufacturing solutions to the global apparel industry, including a SaaS platform for optimizing manufacturing processes. With a commitment to sustainability and innovation, Sheertex aims to lead the hosiery market while promoting environmental responsibility.
