The smallest environmental footprint possible
The highest quality and most comfortable workwear with the smallest environmental footprint possible: this is the ambitious objective we’ve set for ourselves with our Ecogreen fabrics.
Protection all the time
A firefighter is always outfitted in their stationwear uniform wearing it around the station, inside an office, and even while active attending a fire. This firefighter's uniform is also worn day in, day out and is laundered regularly seeing a high number of wash/dry cycles.
Are you looking for stationwear fabrics? Contact one of our fire service specialists and they will be happy to help you to find the right solution exceeding the needs of your fire brigade.
Flame resistant stationwear fabrics provide comfort and extreme durability, while boasting a lower ecological footprint than traditional polyester/cotton blends due to TENCEL™ Lyocell and/or Repreve® fibres. Soft and breathable with superior moisture management properties, these fabrics continue to look good and perform well even after extensive (domestic or industrial) laundering.

The highest quality and most comfortable workwear with the smallest environmental footprint possible: this is the ambitious objective we’ve set for ourselves with our Ecogreen fabrics.
To clearly and evincible substantiate our claims we created an Environmental Product Declaration document (EPD®).
An EPD® – also referred to as a type III Declaration – is an independently verified and registered document which provides transparent and comparable information about the environmental performance of a product.
It includes for example the impacts associated with the production, such as raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, the content of materials and chemical substances, emissions to air, soil and water and waste generation.
