Fabtek produces a new fabric called Protean that has special properties like being light, strong, flexible and able to conduct electricity. It is licensing Protean to other manufacturers to make interesting new products. ARZA, a Swiss firm, has created award-winning Protean shoes, steering wheels, and watch straps under license. Fabtek has been contracted to provide a report on potential new products using Protean, including wheelchairs for disabled people, children's remote control systems, and sunglasses that play MP3s.
