Collaborative Innovation

At Simba, we believe the best results are delivered through partnership, collaboration and shared ambition.

We work alongside industry bodies, research institutions, customers, and manufacturing experts to solve real challenges, unlock efficiencies, improve traceability, and shape better outcomes, not just for today, but for the future of our industry.

Progress begins with leadership and collaboration.

Simba plays an active role in industry-wide collaboration through our close engagement with the Laundry Association Australia (LAA).

Simba has a long history of using science to engineer new product innovations that solve clients' textile challenges. We have developed our textile experience over the last 50-odd years, and we have a deep understanding of every part of the textile lifecycle. Our in-house textile scientists and lab team add an extra dimension to this expertise and allow us to really focus on great discoveries.

Alongside this we collaborate with universities locally and globally and co-invest in emerging technologies to explore new materials, systems and models that move the industry forward.

Simba SmartLinen RFID

Leading commercial laundries, hotels and resorts, mining facilities and hospitals understand that RFID is a lot more than software, hardware and chipped linen.

RFID technology gives Simba customers complete visibility and control over their assets, enabling real-time tracking across operations. By automating identification and data capture, it reduces manual handling, improves accuracy, and eliminates costly errors. Customers benefit from faster turnaround times, better inventory management, and enhanced operational efficiency. The technology also supports compliance and traceability, ensuring every item is accounted for at every stage of its lifecycle. Ultimately, RFID empowers Simba customers to deliver a more reliable, scalable, and data-driven service to their own end users.

Simba SmartLinen is a turnkey RFID ecosystem that can deliver on all fronts.

Simba Joins Industry-Led Effort to End Bedding Waste

We're proud to share that Simba has joined the Australian Bedding Stewardship Council (ABSC) as an inaugural member and a founding participant in its Top-of-Bed Working Group - a collective industry effort focused on tackling bedding waste at scale.

The working group has a clear goal: to design and prove an end-to-end, industry-led circular system for top-of-bed products, one that is practical, commercially viable, and built to last. Rather than running isolated pilots, the focus is on building the structures, governance and operating models needed for a national stewardship scheme.

This work sits at the heart of our Simba Conscious journey, moving beyond individual action and intention, and working collaboratively to design real, system-wide solutions that keep bedding materials in circulation and out of landfill.
