About Us

Future Fiber Factory(FFF)is a new research organization established within the Gu Composite Center(GCC @Gifu University, Tokai National Higher Education and Research System)to develop advanced fibers for the next generation.

Message from the Factory Director and Call for Partner Companies


The purpose of FFF is as follows.
1. To promote fiber development as the world's leading fiber research association.
2. To produce new fibers and textiles by supporting the fiber and textile industry in Tokai area and Japan.
3. To provide technical support to small and medium-sized companies and to generate venture companies.

We welcome joint research and project with companies that agree with the above objectives.
FFF is an open association.

Toshihira IRISAWA, Director of FFF

History of FFF

The FFF was established on January 1, 2022.

Research

To contribute to a sustainable society, to create new values of happiness, and to realize new values, we are developing advanced fibers for the future, including the development of new Carbon Fibers (CFs) as known as the most strongest fibers and their practical application. We welcome national and regional development projects and promote joint research with companies.
