650+ Patents: Inside AAS Tech's Innovation Engine

With over 650 patents worldwide, AAS Tech and its parent company AAS Tech hold one of the largest patent portfolios in the textile components industry. But a patent count is just a number — what matters is the innovation culture and R&D discipline that produced it, and how that capability translates into measurable customer value.

266 Years of Iterative Engineering

AAS Tech's innovation engine didn't start in a lab — it started in 1760, when the Jeevanji family began precision metalworking. Eleven generations of engineering knowledge have been compounded, refined, and documented. This heritage means AAS Tech's R&D team has access to decades of field performance data, failure mode analysis, and material science research that no startup or recent entrant can replicate.

R&D Investment and Process

AAS Tech's Swiss R&D centre operates on a continuous improvement model: every field installation generates performance data that feeds back into the engineering process. The result is a development pipeline where new products and improvements are driven by actual customer performance needs, not theoretical assumptions.

• Dedicated R&D facility in Switzerland focused on material science and precision manufacturing
• Engineering support centre in France for application engineering and field data analysis
• Manufacturing centre in India with precision CNC capabilities for rapid prototyping
• Cross-functional teams spanning metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and textile science

Every patent in the portfolio represents a specific, measurable improvement in loom performance. The innovation engine is not about volume — it is about solving real problems that textile mills face every day.
