Invista to relaunch Coolmax and Thermolite

London - Invista, one of the world’s largest integrated producers of polymers and fibres, is to relaunch its Coolmax and Thermolite brands in early 2016, in an attempt to establish a new brand position for them both.

The campaign, Embrace the Elements, will highlight the new brand positioning for Coolmax and Thermolite, which includes a new contemporary look and feel with new logos, hangtags, websites, and simplified brand architecture, according to the brand’s press statement.

“This new campaign is driven by consumer insights gained through in-depth research starting two years ago,” explains Dave Trerotola, president of Invista Apparel and Advanced Textiles. “We saw the opportunity to further reinforce the unique benefits of two of our most established brands.”

The relaunch campaign centres on the notion of “welcoming your surroundings, without fighting the elements,” Invista explained, whether that is the heat of the gym or the cold of the outdoors.

Trerotola added: “Coolmax and Thermolite enable you to explore your own limits, giving you that added comfort to help you optimise your performance.”
