Sustainability

We are continuously working on new textile solutions to meet the needs of our customers and apply our innovative prowess and process optimisation at all levels. We live and breathe sustainability, which is demonstrated by the certification of the raw materials and the transparency of our supply chain, all the way through to the development and application of sustainable finishes.

Quality with a good conscience

from the raw materials to the finishing

We provide innovative functions that make the everyday (business) lives of our customers easier. The quality of our high-quality shirting fabrics is our highest priority – from the raw materials to the finishing. We work hand in hand with our suppliers and partners to guarantee short and more transparent pathways for our customers. When it comes to finishing, we have a competent partner on our side with AG Cilander. Together, we focus not only on the functionality and quality of our fabrics, which is apparent in their look, feel and care properties, but also on the protection and safety of humans and nature.

Sustainability is reflected in the range of certifications and sustainability hallmarks that we have been awarded for the implementation of sustainable manufacturing and working conditions, among other initiatives. By complying with the strictest environmental conditions, we periodically earn new certifications alongside those we have already been granted, some of which we have held for decades. In this way, we continuously improve our company's level of environmental sustainability. All of our products comply with the currently applicable RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and 2015/863/EU and the REACH Directive of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006.
