Lab-tested durability
TEXTILE TESTING
To ensure our products perform in daily use, we pre-test the durability of selected materials in our lab. Even textile finishes are put to the test. At the Test Centre, logos are washed, stretched and stressed – for top-tier quality. This ensures our customers enjoy their personalised workwear for a long time.
Sole testing in the lab
Double-tested durability
Footwear testing
Our work shoes are built to last! New occupational and safety shoes are sent through testing twice: Before external certification, we rigorously test toe caps, penetration protection and soles under standardised lab conditions.
