Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Twine Solutions has sold the first unit of its next-generation TwineX1 industrial digital, waterless yarn and thread dyeing system to the Textile Research Institute of Thuringia, Vogtland (TITV) in Germany -- a significant commercial and validation milestone for the company's sustainable textile technology.

TwineX1: A Breakthrough in Textile Production

The TwineX1 is billed as the world's only industrial, digital, waterless yarn and thread dyeing platform that enables textile manufacturers and brands to produce custom colors and finishes on demand directly on the production floor. At under 13 feet in length, the fully integrated system dyes and lubricates yarn and thread without traditional dye baths, dramatically reducing water use, waste, and environmental impact while increasing agility and responsiveness for small-batch and specialized textile production.

TITV plans to integrate the TwineX1 into its advanced R&D environment as a core platform for textile innovation, creating and testing new sustainable processes, functional yarn applications, and digital production workflows that align with evolving industry needs.

Strategic Implications

This transaction marks the first commercial sale of the TwineX1 system, reflecting early adoption of Twine's digital, waterless dyeing technology beyond demonstration and into practical research and development use. For Steakholder -- which acquired Twine Solutions in late 2025 to expand into digital industrial technologies -- the deal highlights progress in transforming the textile dyeing supply chain with a sustainable alternative to traditional wet processes.

TITV's investment, supported by the Free State of Thuringia and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the 2024 WIN 0008 project, underscores broader public and regional support for advanced manufacturing technologies that reduce environmental impact and accelerate innovation.

Market Context & Growth Potential

The TwineX1 sale comes amid Steakholder's broader efforts to commercialize digital, on-demand manufacturing technologies across sectors -- including food production and textile manufacturing -- positioning the company at the intersection of sustainability, customization, and advanced industrial automation. Earlier collaborations, such as expanded distribution efforts with U.S. textile partners, illustrate ongoing demand for waterless dye technology across global markets.

Waterless and on-demand dyeing solutions are becoming increasingly attractive to textile brands, manufacturers, and research institutions seeking to cut lead times, reduce waste, shorten supply chains, and meet growing sustainable production mandates. Adopters can experiment with functional and specialty yarns and respond quickly to market trends without the environmental footprint of conventional dyeing infrastructures.

Outlook & Next Steps

For Steakholder Foods, this first TwineX1 sale validates both the technology and its commercial path forward in textile applications. Investors and industry observers will likely watch for follow-on orders, strategic partnerships, and expanded installations across Europe and other regions seeking digital, waterless textile solutions.

As Twine Systems move from research and pilot environments into broader adoption, the potential for recurring equipment sales, service contracts, and solutions integration could contribute to Steakholder's longer-term growth strategy in industrial automation and sustainable manufacturing.
