About us

RFIDTHREADS® is a pioneering company with a passion for sustainable innovation.

Our Story


We provide a unique RFID solution with customised consultancy to global organisations.

After a decade of product testing and development by Dr. Anura Rathnayake, the founding members established RFID THREADS ltd in 2024. This pioneering innovation company provides wearable UHF and NFC solutions to address multiple needs in the supply chain industry.

Its use cases are industry-agnostic, covering sectors such as Medical, Sports and Recreation, Fashion and Entertainment, Military, Automotive, and Retail. We have invented a novel process for integrating durable and washable RFID tags into consumer and manufacting products, which remains undetectable to the user.

This innovation opens up vast potential in product management data and textile recycling.
