Vernal, which stands for springtime, illustrates the core values of the new holding company symbolizing growth, development, freshness and change. It is our aim to make our stakeholders’ value grow offering a strong basis through our network and business processes and giving space to new ideas and promising business projects. The Group’s subsidiaries and their proprietary technologies allow us to combine our technical nonwovens with our advanced knitting technology.

We won’t comment on our Group’s share in the technical textiles sector. Generally speaking, the global market for technical textiles got very strong and important over the past years; innovative and customized product concepts are required by the customers.

We focus on the European, North American and Asian markets including India. We believe that each market has its own rules that need to be respected in order to enter a market properly. Therefore, intercultural experience and leadership is needed. It is very important to team with the appropriate partners. From a technology point of view, we have to take into consideration the various regulations as standards differ from region to region.

Proprietary knowledge, innovation and freshness are the key words for future growth. As already stated earlier, trends go towards tailor-made product solutions that enable our customers to be silhouetted against their competitors. From a technological point of view, the use of nanotechnology will certainly become more important.

Apart from the activities carried out in the individual target markets of our subsidiaries, we extend our common customer base as we have the chance to supply common customers from a common source.

Constant monitoring of the environmental impact of our activities is essential in order to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and regulations. Care for environmental safety is also part of our image, both in the workplace and in our surroundings. Complete traceability is guaranteed and implemented in our Group.
