Migdal Haemek - Nilit, the manufacturer of nylon 6.6 for apparel, has been recognized for the company’s initiatives to significantly improve its manufacturing footprint, introduce responsible products, and support the communities around the world where Nilit operates.

In a report by the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection, Nilit was ranked first in a list of the top ten companies in Israel who reduced air pollution emissions in 2019 compared to previous measurements.

The company's conversion from fuel oil to natural gas generated an 86% emission reduction which the company said was an extraordinary and significant achievement for the improvement of the environment.

"For fifty years, Nilit has been guided by a strict ethics code that defines how our company interacts with customers, global and local brands, business partners, employees, and the environment," said Ilan Melamed, Nilit's General Manager. “We are pleased to be recognized for our most recent sustainability achievements that support our long-standing goal of influencing the apparel world to use more sustainable products in more responsible ways.”

Elsewhere, Nilit was featured in the most recent episode of Earth with John Holden. Hosted by Emmy award winner and former NBC News correspondent John Holden, Earth showcases innovative solutions to promote the planet’s health. For the "Today's Eco-Friendly Apparel" segment, the Earth team visited Nilit facilities in Israel and the USA and interviewed the executive team to learn more about Nilit’s environmentally responsible premium Nylon 6.6 operations and products.

“Conscious consumers want to know that they are buying high quality, long-lasting sustainable fabrics that are made with respect for people and planet,” added Sagee Aran, head of Global Marketing. “Our Sensil portfolio offers that reassurance along with the performance, fashion, comfort, and well-being benefits that these consumers also expect from their premium apparel.”
