PPE - Protective clothes, workwear
Workwear are clothes that are tailored to the individual needs of different jobs, as regards their function, fit, or workmanship. Today they are an important segment in clothes production. For many, workwear just means blue coveralls but this is only a small section of this large field. Blouses, blazers, jackets, trousers ... the number of models is huge, and all are designed differently. Craftsmen, nurses, kitchen and service staff, postal workers, etc., they all need workwear and want their individual requirements fulfilled.

Design and production of workwear has changed over the past years. Today, workwear not only represents practical and functional clothing, but it is also an important instrument demonstrating corporate identity. Often, fashionable details are desired as well.
In addition, hygienic and physiological aspects have gained in significance. The person wearing workwear has to feel comfortable and the clothes must survive many laundering cycles.
Competition among the suppliers of workwear is fierce. The order volumes are often huge. New uniforms for the postal service or police force mean large volumes and thus large orders. That means that every cent counts. Quality and profitability are of great importance here. They are decisive for the success or failure in this market. The supplier that produces the goods meeting the requirements at the lowest possible price will make the deal. Defects in quality and premature wear are the cause of annoyance and complaints – and they reduce profitability.
