Good connections don’t show. Their results do.

Behind every recommendation are manufacturers we have known personally for years: their strengths, their capacities, their limits. That knowledge goes into every enquiry and saves you detours.

Public authorities

We know the requirements of tenders and technical delivery specifications, and help select materials that comply with standards such as EN ISO 11612, EN 469, EN ISO 20471 or EN 343.

Manufacturers and garment makers

When a quality is discontinued, a supplier drops out or a new requirement comes up, we find the right alternative.

On site

Fabric has to be felt. We bring samples to you or meet you at trade fairs.

How an enquiry works

From the first description to series delivery, you keep the same contact.

  1. Requirement

    You describe the application, standards, quantity and deadline. Samples or data sheets help, but aren’t required.

  2. Selection

    We match your requirement against our network and propose suitable manufacturers and qualities.

  3. Samples and testing

    You receive samples, data sheets and test evidence until the quality is right.

  4. Delivery

    We accompany the order from the first purchase to series production.

Your contacts

You speak directly with the people who handle your enquiry – from the first conversation to delivery.
