Last year, ahead of the Paris Olympics, Swiss sports brand On presented LightSpray, a new performance shoe whose textile upper is made using an automated manufacturing process. Last week, the brand officially inaugurated its first LightSpray production facility in its headquarters in Zurich.
In the small-scale industry 4.0 factory, four robots produce LightSpray uppers from a single 1,500 m long filament. Similar to a 3D-printing process, it forms an upper in 3 minutes. The LightSpray models will thus be partially made in Switzerland.
Company founders Caspar Coppetti, David Allemann and Olivier Bernhard said that other such production facilities would be installed worldwide.
