Rivertex Australia Honoured with Special Commendation at SPECTEX25
Rivertex Australia is proud to announce that we have received a Special Commendation for Product Innovations – Technology, Fabrication and Fabrics for our Rivercyclon® 450 FR fabric.
The award was presented during the prestigious SPECTEX25 Awards Dinner on Friday, 30 May, recognising Rivertex’s commitment to advancing sustainable and high-performance technical textiles.
The commendation highlights the innovative design and engineering behind Rivercyclon® 450 FR – a 100% polypropylene fabric that offers a fire-retardant, recyclable, and PVC-free alternative to traditional coated fabrics. Developed to meet the highest standards of durability, safety and environmental responsibility, Rivercyclon® 450 FR is already making a strong impact in industries seeking smarter and more sustainable material solutions.
The award was accepted by Gavin Hodgins, CEO of Rivertex Australia, accompanied by his wife Erin, during the evening ceremony. Speaking after the event, Mr. Hodgins expressed his appreciation: "This recognition is a proud moment for our team and a testament to our ongoing investment in sustainable innovation. Rivercyclon 450 FR is more than just a product – it's a solution that reflects our values and vision for the future of technical textiles."
