Fabric with Intention: How a Heritage Textile Company is Reshaping Sustainability
With more than 60 years of experience, this company is built on a foundation of craftsmanship, consistency, and evolution. Today, that evolution means embracing sustainability – not as a marketing feature, but as a guiding principle.
Materials That Reflect Responsibility
Their fabric collections are developed using a diverse range of sustainable fibers, including regenerated cellulosic fibers from responsibly managed sources, recycled polyester and blended yarns from post-consumer waste, as well as innovative bio-based materials that offer biodegradability or reduced resource use. Each season, they evaluate and refine their selections, ensuring that the fabrics they present to leading fashion and activewear brands align with both performance needs and ecological values.
Production Rooted in Partnership
They collaborate with regional dyehouses and long-time contract manufacturers, many of whom we’ve worked with for decades. These partnerships enable them to apply lower-impact dyeing techniques, optimize energy usage across processes, reduce water consumption and harmful effluents. Their local network gives us transparency and control – two crucial elements in today’s complex global supply chains.


Innovation as a Long-Term Approach
While their strength lies in weaving, they’re also actively researching new sustainable technologies. Among these are water-saving printing methods, alternative dyestuffs (including algae-based tones), and smart finishing processes that avoid harsh treatments. Although these initiatives are not yet mainstream, they demonstrate the company’s commitment to long-term impact.
Heritage Meets the Future
Their clients are global and their demands are diverse, but the expectation for sustainable sourcing is shared across every market. That’s why they design their collections not only for visual appeal or technical performance – but for transparency and accountability. They don’t claim to be perfect, but they do promise this: every season, they push further.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Over 60 years of textile manufacturing experience, an in-house development team with expertise in both fashion and performance fabrics, strong partnerships with dyehouses and finishers dedicated to sustainable growth, as well as transparent sourcing and proactive fiber selection process. Commitment to environmental stewardship beyond certifications.
They are not trend chasers. They’re partners in long-term progress – for brands, for the industry, and for the planet.
