Children’s clothing

Sewing threads play a crucial role in the manufacture of children's clothing. They not only have to be robust and hard-wearing, but also skin-friendly and safe for children's sensitive skin. Threads that retain their color and strength even after frequent washing are required for garments that are frequently worn, such as pants, T-shirts and dresses. In addition, OEKO-TEX-certified sewing threads that are free of harmful substances are a must in order to meet the highest safety standards and protect the well-being of the little ones.

Workwear

Corporate wear and workwear are long-distance runners when it comes to clothing. Usually professionally cared for, they must be able to withstand dozens of washing and cleaning cycles without looking like it. The tough daily work routine must not harm the fabrics or seams. Colours have to stay fresh, labels have to stay in the right place. Our threads ensure perfect looking seams even when work clothes are subject to heavy wear.

Leatherwear

Discreet, decorative or protective? As a second skin, leather poses very particular processing challenges. Depending on the garment’s intended use, the seams should either be decorative or have high abrasion and tear resistance, but without diminishing the overall appearance. With our special product range for leather, we leave nothing to be desired.

Garment dyeing

While items of clothing are usually made from pre-dyed fabrics, garment dyeing initially involves making up a large number of garments and dyeing them later, depending on trends and levels of demand. This increases flexibility in a dynamic market while minimising the risk of large stocks of individual colours remaining. To keep seam quality at a consistently high level, our sewing threads can be optimally processed and outstandingly well dyed in all fabrics.
