Fabtek produces a new fabric called Protean that has special properties like being light, strong, flexible and able to conduct electricity. It is licensing Protean to other manufacturers to make interesting new products. ARZA, a Swiss firm, has created award-winning products using Protean like shoes, steering wheels, and watch straps. Fabtek has been contracted to explore using Protean in wheelchairs, children's monitoring systems, and sunglasses.
